Inside the Character: Getting to Know Apryl Wilde from Gluttony

Apryl Wilde is definitely one of my standout characters. She’s successful, headstrong, and has a knack for turning life’s hardest hits into fuel for her fire. She’s one of my alpha women characters, a type of FMC I truly love writing. Apryl was, and still is, the perfect other half of the fifth book in the Love is Cure series, with most readers liking her instantly. Let’s dive deeper into Apryl’s story and uncover what makes her tick.

Alternate Story Ending: Everett & Apryl (Gluttony)

If I could, I’d give these two another story—no question about it. Honestly, I’m starting to notice I say that a lot about my previously published characters, but it’s true! Every time I check in with them for these alternate story endings, I fall in love with them all over again. Love just looks so damn good on them. Everett and Apryl are no exception.  

In Sloth, we got an update on them when Eryn visited her big brother and his fiancée at their duplex in Manhattan. This alternate ending takes us back to move-in day for Everett and Apryl at that very duplex. Let’s see how it all went down. Enjoy!

Sloth Chapter 9: “I Must Be Dreaming”

For at least two books in the Love is Cure series, readers have been eagerly awaiting Eryn Peters’ story. She’s danced around conversations about her past relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Simeon, for long enough. In Chapter 9 of Sloth, the very thing Eryn vowed to avoid happens—she reunites with her first love, the man she believes broke her heart. It’s one of the most memorable reunions in my book world.

Introducing Author’s Cuts: Reimagined Stories with a Whole New Twist  

Do you remember my short stories Just FriendsLena’s Ex-FileDream Boss, and Chateau Luxure? They were some of my first published short stories on Amazon. Back then, short stories were my go-to. I loved telling succinct stories that revealed the details as they unfolded, without needing extra space to be impactful—and I was perfectly okay with that.  

Shorts and novellas let me trim the fat, get straight to the point, and keep the pace moving. Even now, I love the quick, immersive experience they offer. But lately, something has shifted. Longer, more in-depth stories have started occupying what I like to call my character hotel (a.k.a. my imagination). And that shift has rubbed off on me in the best way possible.  

Last year, I made the exciting decision to take some of my favorite short stories and reimagine them. Will I do this with my other stories? No! This is a one and done thing and I’m excited to introduce the Author’s Cuts series—a collection of reedited and reimagined stories that deliver something truly special.

Character Q&A: Eva Gordon

It’s a chilly evening in Rochester, New York, and Eva Gordon, wife to basketball star Jaleel Gordon, sits comfortably in the kitchen of their family home. The sounds of the winter wind outside are muffled by the warmth of the house. As she sips her herbal tea, Eva watches her newborn daughter, safely asleep in the nursery, from the video monitor. Her eyes are soft with contentment, and there’s a quiet glow to her. She’s a mother now, and life has transformed in the most unexpected ways.

Eva’s calm demeanor suggests that she’s found peace in her busy life, which now revolves around family and balancing her flourishing yoga studio and juice bar with the demands of being a mother of two. As she settles into the conversation, she smiles warmly, a little bit tired but grateful for everything life has gifted her.

“Girl,” she said, “I can’t remember the last time I had a full night’s rest but these kids make me so happy.”

As I settled into my seat, I started our conversation from there.

Home Before Midnight Chapter 6: “Why Don’t You Call Your New Friend? Mr. Greene?”

Reconnecting with the Gordons had been on my mind from the moment I typed “The End” on their Christmas short story, Home for Christmas. I fell in love with this young couple even before I started writing, just from the outline. The way their love unfolded felt so organic, making it a joy to bring them back for their second chance romance. So when the idea of writing a New Year’s Eve story came to mind, Eva and Jaleel were the first couple I thought of. Their love is intentional—expressed through both words and actions—and Home Before Midnight showcases that beautifully, especially in chapter six.
