March Author Series #8: Not What I Expected by Raven McAllan

Have you ever started writing in one genre and later on, decided that you actually should write in a completely different one? Such is the case with Raven McAllan. Read on and see what I mean...


Not What I Expected

So as I sit and watch the sun go down over the ocean, a hot and I mean HOT, bod walks past me and winks…

 "Honey, you up for it?"

 Ahhh…

Sod it, I woke up. Yeah, I'm by the ocean and yeah there are some hot-bods…. But I can only look…and dream.

 Why, when I was so young was I so innocent? After all giving away my secrets, I was a child of the sixties… but they passed my home town by… no bra burning, no free love and no waccy baccy. So at an older age… lol… I started to write erotic romance.

 I always wrote. Ever since I was young and won the Where does Chocolate Come From two years on the trot. The prize was chocolate, a big incentive to an ardent chocolate lover.

Sadly at my senior school, they didn't like stories… and I had then hammered (not literally) out of me.
 Then oh so many years later, I discovered my voice. Which is so not what I expected it to be. Hott-ish, erotic, and oh how I love it. And to be told by a so-called friend my books are disgusting had me in tears of laughter. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist!

So pleased to meet you.

I'm Raven McAllan… peddler of … well you decide. So will I post you a picture? Not in a million years. You need some illusions intact.

 Will I post my covers? You bet… er if I find out how to… (you get the gist) we did computer programming at school, I dogged the lessons. Er dogged= skipped=bunked off.. And Computers? Think house-sized lol.

 So far I have been lucky enough to have 5 books published, with more on the way.

    "One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist!"

    So true! There is a place on the bookshelf for everyone. If there is a reader for it, it will be written. :D

    How cool you discovered your voice even in the face of all that criticism. Covers look great, btw. Good titles too.

    Kudos to hanging in there and following your dream.
