It's when they expect one thing and get another that can not be so sweet at times . I think if readers know that you can be a bit of a wild Card it’s all good.

Yes, Topping Tora is a very different kind of story--even for me. I've gotten lots of mixed reactions to it, for various reasons. The good news is that not all my stories are this edgy (I think that's the word I'm looking for), and I'm glad you're not turned off from reading my stories in Secret Thoughts. :) Like Sasha mentioned in this post, my writing really varies from story to story. I just hope I'm not aggravating readers as I explore different tones, sub-genres and subject matter. Lots of readers like to know what to expect when they buy an author. I guess I'm a bit of a wild card. About working in a prison, it really takes a certain temperment to do it. But since many people don't want to work there, the pay can be quite good. :mrgreen: (Sorry for the long post!) Thanks, Debbie! Yes, Topping Tora is a very different kind of story–even for me.

I have read Topping Tora and realise that I'm a wimp and found there was some rough treatment in there that I wasn't use to reading. I have also seen the reviews you have received for that story and now I know I'm soft because you have indeed received great reviews. It takes all kinds, right? Personally I can't imagine working with men in prison - I tend to have this fear in me of what they might be capable of doing. Thank goodness there are people that can do it though. Congrats on your upcoming release. :great: I’m anxious to read your story Laura!
