Thanks for letting me guest post. My name is CJ Warrant and I write dark romantic thrillers and contemporary romance. Today I want to touch on the question that most readers and writers ask.
It’s a popular question, which I’m sure all published authors are asked. I know this because I’ve asked some of my fellow author friends that same question and they say the same thing.
For me, my inspiration comes from anywhere. Seriously!
I can be sitting on the passenger side or driving in my car and spot something that draws my attention, and wham, a spark of an idea comes to mind. It doesn’t have to be something huge. Sometimes the smallest of ideas can be huge once the vision of the story is flourishes.
With Mirror Image, my latest full-length dark romantic thriller, the idea started out watching a movie that dealt with Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde then a commercial came on with twins. Then my brain churned the two and then the what-ifs, how, when and why questions came into play.
Sometimes a spark happens when I’m taking a shower—washing my hair—not thinking about anything and Bam, an idea of a story hits me. So, it doesn’t matter where an idea comes from, as long as you find inspiration in it and let your imagination fly.
Thanks for letting me hang out with you all!!
Las Vegas stripper, Jazz Connolly is wrongly accused of murder and finds out the killer may be her identical twin. With help from a Denver cop Mike Mitchell—the latest victim’s best friend and her accuser, Jazz uncovers facts about her past, a dark secret twisted with lies, and clues to the killer’s true identity. When Mike finds Jazz on his doorstep, he can’t resist the temptation and helps her track down details of her past. As they uncover clues, he can’t ignore the potent chemistry between them. In this tangled web of chaos, their passion ignites, but can they learn to trust each other? While the body count grows, they will have to fight back, love hard, and survive in order to learn the truth and expose the real killer.
CJ Warrant is a lover, a hater and sometimes a fighter for all she’s passionate about. She can’t exist without coffee, chocolate and a damn story brewing in her head. She was born an overseas Army brat, in a Korean Italian household but settled in the states at the ripe old age of five. With a long career in the beauty industry, a wonderful marriage to a great man and three kids nearly all grown, her view of life is as such. Life is a journey; both good and bad, light and dark, but she takes it all in and learns from every experience life has to offer. She takes those crazy moments, stirs in the dark and brings her passion for words to life.
