MY INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR LORNA MICHAEL’S

What’s your name and what genre would you consider your books to be?

Lorna Michael’s and right now I am a multi genre author, I have published poetry, memoir, soon pnr and erotica bdsm

Tell me about your book. How did you come up with that (story, angle, idea)?

Letters to Emma is a fiction/ non-fiction book of my life experiences it is written in the form of letters to my stillborn daughter telling her things I would have if she had lived

These are letters written to my heavenly child: the one I carried for a short time but never got to watch grow into the beautiful woman I knew she would be. As much as it is sharing a lifetime of memories with her, it is also about me finding the strength to heal emotionally. These letters will detail the events in my life I would have told her about had she been with me.
It is also a healing process for me. There will be details of childhood abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, and death. However, there will also be a story of love that breaks all barriers of time and space. This is also a tale of unconditional love and the strength of a woman that has seen and experienced so much that she bends from time to time, but she never breaks.
Read on to find out how Katherine and Calvin share a life full of love for each other and their children and how they face and cope with whatever challenges are thrown their way.

Can you give us a few tasty morsels from your work-in-progress?

I, Christopher Jones have never explored my submissive side. That is until I met Madam Sabine. As a man, you’re expected to be dominant and to rule the household, oversee everything. However, that has never felt right to me. I do like control in my life, just not in the bedroom. I never understood before why I was so different. I wanted women to dominate me, tell me what they wanted me to do to them. Every woman Eugenie, my brother or John, my best friend, would set me up with on a blind date just felt wrong. Something was always missing, something still felt off. I was wrong.
