Striving to Be Better Than My Last Book

It has come to my attention that my writing is wilting. I'm not giving you what you need and failing to jerk the emotions out of you hard enough. My heart is heavy. So, I'm stepping back and looking at what is different in my life that needs to be corrected. I as a reader know the need for being pulled into a book until you can't bear to put it down.

I pulled out some authors who did this for me and searched to see what I am missing and got lost in Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon then moved on to her Born in books until I was washed out and worn out from all of the emotions bombarding me. That is what I'm missing. I may never reach the depth and height that this woman and many others like her achieve, but I will proceed ever forward in that quest.

The books even now being edited haunt me as I know they will not reach your heart and soul like I want to, but from now on, I will write my heart and soul into each book.

I will research each one until I am too sore to move and enjoy every minute of it. Every new experience that I undertake will add to my writing. I will surround myself with inspirational pictures like these...
and study each inch of delectable skin until I can feel it against me so I can describe it to you. Feel free to send me your favorite heroes that I might present them to you in a future book. I pledge to keep you updated on this first book from my imagination as I'm BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!

Bella Juarez Talks about Men in Uniform

What is so alluring about a man in uniform?


Oh! Let me count the ways!


(1) Authority: Who doesn’t love a big strong alpha man in uniform? The air of authority that comes with a uniform makes us women weak at the knees. The basic instinct of being protected and secure in a big strong alpha man’s presences is warm and inviting. And it helps that most of them are in pretty damn good shape.

(2) Command and Control. Need I say more? How about those handcuffs? That water hose that could never douse the flame of desire these men set racing through you. The aggressive, hungry, way the come home after months on a warfront. There is also a tenuous vulnerability in these men that is sweet and attractive.

(3) What about those big guns… *le sigh*

(4) Rescue me! What woman hasn’t dreamt of a knight coming to rescue her? Doesn’t matter of it’s a street wise Sampson, GI Joe or just plain Officer/Fireman Joe. Who doesn’t want to be carried off and rescued? Show of hands please? You know they play as hard as they work.


(5) Sensitivity to a cause greater than themselves: These big guys have an even bigger heart. They understand what’s at stake. They know that dedicating themselves to a higher purpose is not just a job but a calling. The need to be heroic isn’t their motivation. The desire to protect and serve is their driving force.


Let’s not stop at number five… Give me six, seven, eight, nine, ten, etc…


What do I write about? Men in uniform, of course! BlackOps Brotherhood Series is my flagship series of books. These stories are about exciting men and women who play just as hard as they work.

These strong women and even stronger men find ways to save the world and keep loving, sometimes dark relationships going behind closed doors.
