“Oh my... Did you make pancakes?” I asked, joining him at the kitchen island. He’d freshly showered, his dark hair still wet. He was wearing a more casual black shirt, linen, and it billowed off his slender frame. “Well, close. I ordered pancakes. That’s basically the same thing, right?” #WIPSnips

Just put on Eyes Wide Shut as some inspiration for the next scene I have to write and what do you mean the opening credits is The Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich? That's the same waltz they just danced to in the last scene I wrote! #amwriting #mafiaromance

“What’s your goal? Work here until you can afford a couple boytoys of your own?” I snorted with laughter, and he grinned back at me. I quickly committed the crinkle in the corner of his eyes, the curl of his lip, to memory. “Oh Gosh, imagine. I wouldn’t even know what to do with them.” #WIPSnips

This is gross. Do not do it. Hotel rooms have sinks with hot water and soap. Handwash your knickers, you skank. This is not a hack, it's giving a stranger your fanny disease via coffee.🤮

His dark gaze slid to meet mine. I offered him a dimpled smile. He returned it with a subtle tip of his head; a nod. My heart pounded with triumph. Maybe I could do this. Maybe I could be someone else. Slip into this role of Belle, a jezebel just like my mother had always said. #WIPSnips #romance

My toxic trait is I keep pronouncing Pakhan like pecan. #mafiaromance

“I understand.” The words tasted like bile. There couldn’t be any suspicion on me. They had to accept me as one of them, and I needed to prove myself. My morals, my values, who I was? None of it mattered. #WIPSnips #MafiaRomance

I was alone, and my memories could not hurt me. That was what I’d told myself for decades. Why should I expect I could believe it now? #WIPSnips #MafiaRomance #DarkRomance

My father made a deal with the mafia. Now I have to pay the price. Ivan is trouble. He reminds me every time he makes me scream his name. But for the next year there’s no escaping. My father sold me to him. I never thought I’d be owned by a hitman for the Russian Mob.

When he steals a yacht from the Russian Mafia, he doesn't realize there's a flesh and blood secret hidden below the deck. 🌶️Age Gap 🔥Daddy-dom 🖤Dark but consensual 🍑Virgin Trafficked is on sale for $1 everywhere! alexisabbott.com/project/traf... #romance #romanticsuspense #eroticthriller #booksky

Early morning walk in the snow! We had a great stroll. Laszlo especially, who ate his fill of snow (and then some) on the journey, and yelled at everyone shoveling their driveways. Bonus points if you can find my Cthulhu pin, marking me as a member of the Infernal Order of Dagon.

Long before I became a professional author, I wrote for fun. At times we wrote millions of words a year of pure dreck, just because it was fun to do so. I don't understand why anyone would get into the arts if they didn't enjoy the process. There's easier and more guaranteed ways to earn money.

the girlies have spoken: we want anti-capitalist hitman romances. we want vigilante assassin romances. we want fuckable fugitive romances.

I felt like a girl with a crush, but I’d never had a crush before. Women were made for men’s enjoyment, not the other way around. Maybe I was just in love, then. Might as well be. Love was almost as unthinkable as sitting in a slinky dress next to a mobster. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky

Writers! How do you handle non-linear chapters? I typically follow the flow of time as I go between the FMC and MMC chapters, but I wanted to try experimenting with adding tension and having the same event told through both perspectives. #amwriting #writesky

My face burned with shame and humiliation. My body ached, muscles coiled tight. I’d been so coy, trying to wrest a modicum of control from the men, and failed. I wasn’t a person; I was a tool used for hazing the new recruit, and it was all my fault. #WIPSnips #MafiaRomance #amwriting

Authors love libraries. Please use them. Please support them. Libraries are amazing. 📚

If you're using generative AI to brainstorm "ideas" then you're damaging your own creative development. The trick to having good ideas is having loads of really shit ones first!

I've been writing fiction for thirty years, been doing it almost daily with my partner for nearly 24 years. I don't know how to give advice that a budding writer might find useful. That feels like peering into the murky depths of primordial history now. #AmWriting

I will never, ever get over this.

Loves a mafia movie that starts with the main character dying then goes back in time to find out how they got there. Can you guess the movie? No, not that one. The other one.
