RELEASE BLITZ


Playing House
by J. Haney
New Adult Polyamorous Romance


Author Bio.jpg
I was born and raised in Kentucky. I reside in Greenup County, Kentucky with my family. My debut novel, An Unexpected Love, released August 2015. I’m a single momma to my nine-year-old daughter, Jessalyn Kristine. I also take care and homeschool my autistic cousin, Aiden Sean, he’s ten years old. I love photography and seeing what I can capture through the lens! I’ve been plus size modeling for over a year and have been on multiple pattern covers now. Both kids model as well, I suppose you can call us “One Big Modeling Family”. I’m probably the biggest book whore, I know. I love books of all genres and get excited when I’m introduced to a new author. I’m often told I act like a kid in the candy shop, which I could totally see!

Hey you, remember me? Yea, I’m that girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Yes, that one with two lovers. Sheesh is that all I’ll ever be known as now? Last you heard from me I was moving in with one of my lovers. Remember how I said my life wasn’t like an 80’s movie? I was kind of wrong, because I did find my knight only mine came in two.

My life now is not all pizza and beers for our little triad. As per usual my jacked-up past has come calling back at me. Yeah, you know the one I’m talking about or should I say hate talking about.

Suppose you should come on and find out what I’m going on about.

Copyright © 2017 J. Haney Playing House (A Heart Strings Love Affair, Book 2)
Between dealing with my father’s house and the guys breathing down my neck, I need a break. I run upstairs for my shoes, then wait for them to settle in. Clayton takes off and Vic’s messing around in the kitchen when I barrel out the door.
I head for the one place I know I can get rid of this stress. I see Clayton, so I push down a little harder on the gas, drop the gearshift, and fly past him. I just need space every now and then. Since I moved in with Clayton, I don’t get a lot of me time. I’m always split between Vic and Clayton, except when Wayde and Adam are joining us.
I pull up to a place out by the warehouses where we like to drag race. It’s a bit of old road that comes to a dead end that no one uses anymore. Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran, Duran is playing on the radio when I roll down the window to let Mike know that I want in on the action tonight. I hand him two hundred to place my bet, then head for the line, no clue who I’m facing off against. That is till I pull up to the line and I’ll be damned if Harmand isn’t sitting in the car beside me. Fucker must have got a new car because I haven’t seen this one before. It’s a silver Mustang, brand new, and I’m sure it’s got all the bells and whistles under the hood. Too bad, though, it ain’t got shit on my Hemi.
Harmand motions for me to roll down my window, so I do. “You ready to lose, Princess?” he shouts, revving his engine.
“I ain’t losing shit. You need to go back and tell them you need to change spots because the chick that whipped your ass is about to do it again.”
“Come on now, Princess, don’t you want to play a little? I know you used to love playing with me.”
“Pig. Can’t you find someone else to pester?”
“Not tonight. Oh, I meant to tell you, I can’t wait for next weekend. It’s that time again.”
I roll up my window, I don’t want to listen to it anymore. I know what he’s talking about, but I don’t live there anymore, so he’s going to be shit out of luck.
Mike taps the hoods and we roll down the windows as he goes over the rules. “To the dividers and back, first one over the line wins!” he shouts over the crowd of kids. Cars are lined up on both sides of the drag, all up and down the line, their headlights beaming, showing the trail. I nod, gripping the steering wheel.
“Ready to eat my dust, Princess?” Harmand shouts.
“Suck my cock!” I yell back as Giselle steps out in front of us to set us up. I’m half tempted to aim for her. She puts her arms up and with a twist of her hips, drops the flags and we go.
I drop into second fast, turning it up as Harmand gains on me at the midpoint, we are neck and neck as we approach the divider. I hit third and slam past him, my tires squealing as I pop up on two wheels, making the sharp turn. I floor it as I see him gaining on me again. Just when I think I’ve got him beat, he grabs my drift and is right alongside me. I glance at him and I can see it in his eyes, he’s gonna slam me. He cocks the wheel and I have to turn to avoid getting hit. I feel the front-end slip. Fuck, I’ve hit a patch of ice! BAM! I’m in the ravine and smoke and metal are twisting up around me. My chest hits the steering column, but the seatbelt keeps me in place.
Fuck, that hurt. Kids are running up to me as I unbuckle and Mike pulls me out of the car. “My baby,” I say, kicking out as Mike grabs hold of me, pulling me back as the fire starts. He drags me up the ravine as kids look on and to my horror, the car goes up in flames. I can hear the doors all around me slamming shut, tires squealing as they all hightail it out of there, all the while somebody is screaming. Turns out that somebody is me.

~More About Brooke Lee~

Growing up, Brooke’s mother instilled a deep respect for the English language and a love of words. She taught Brooke to read and write and shared her appreciation for poetry. As a teen, poetry became an outlet for Brooke’s innermost thoughts and deepest, often times darkest feelings.

In school, teachers always told her “write what you know”, so that is what she did. At the not so tender age of forty-three, she started to write her first novel, I Am ShelbyJames (Beauty in the Darkness) and it is what she knows—emotions.

In her spare time—when she’s not writing—you can find Brooke cuddled on the couch with her husband of 20+ years, their fur babies, and a good (often naughty) eBook—unless of course she’s having cocktails with her Bestie at one of their favorite haunts.

Meet the author


Welcome all.
Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Brooke Lee author of The Beauty in the Darkness Series.

ME: Hi Brooke Lee, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
BROOKE LEE: My mother has taught me my love of words and my father was an artist. Between the two of them I learned a healthy appreciation for the arts.
Poetry is in my blood and I am a very visual person, so often my inspiration for a poem starts with an image. My book I Am ShelbyJames was born from my poetry.

ME: Which writers inspire you?
BROOKE LEE: Honestly, there are so many. I will say the generosity of Kendall Grey, Faith Gibson, Lainie Suzanne and Taylor Johns is most inspirational. These authors share their time, knowledgeable, experience and sometimes even a shoulder to other authors trying to make it in this business. They understand there is room for all and encourage others.

ME: What are you working on at the minute?
BROOKE LEE: I have another book in my Beauty in the Darkness Series started and 3 other stories in the works. What's next?? That's the question. Only the voices know and so far, they haven't said.

ME: Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book?
BROOKE LEE: I don't know really. Maybe Rumor Willis, she's got an edge that might work for Shelby.

Me: When did you decide to become a writer?
BROOKE LEE: I never really made a conscious decision. I've always been a writer, but I decided to try my hand at novel writing about three years ago.

ME: Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand?
BROOKE LEE: I write on my laptop and phone sometimes. But I also have journals all over the place with notes I jot down.

ME: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer just to see where an idea takes you?
BROOKE LEE: I just write the words that are whispered by my Muse.

ME: Do you read much and if so who are your favorite authors?
BROOKE LEE: I read as much as I can. Sometimes too much and I forget to stop reading and write.

ME: Do you think that giving books away free works and why?
BROOKE LEE: If you mean does it sell more books? I don't know. I think it helps to get your name out there. But it's really difficult for new writers to garner attention.

ME: How do you relax?
BROOKE LEE: I write poetry, listen to music and hang out with my hubs and BFF.

ME: What is your favorite book and why?
BROOKE LEE: That's hard to answer. But I will say Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning is definitely in the running.

ME: What is your favorite quote?
BROOKE LEE: "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." I don't know it's origination, my mom always says it.

ME: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
BROOKE LEE: Just write the story that's in your heart.

ME: What does your writing process look like?
BROOKE LEE: I am sort of an unorganized person. Never does my process look the same. I write when the words come, no matter where I am.

ME: What is your least favorite part of the publishing / writing process?
BROOKE LEE: Promotion! I don't like having to sell myself or beg for sales.

ME: Is there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others? Love? Action? Racy?
BROOKE LEE: Not really. I do find it challenging to come up with new ways to write sex scenes. I never want my readers to feel they just read the same thing five pages ago or in the last book they read.

ME: Did you learn anything from writing your book(s) and what was it?
BROOKE LEE: I learned that it's not easy, but so with it. I received the gift of pride in myself the moment I hit publish.

ME: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
BROOKE LEE: Faith Gibson has been my mentor, my rock and my support from the moment I decided to write. Without her I would never have finished anything.

ME: Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
BROOKE LEE: Finding the time to write. It becomes an all-consuming activity and I feel guilty for neglecting the rest of my life.

ME: What book are you reading now?
BROOKE LEE: I am currently reading a WIP from another author.

ME: What are your current projects?
BROOKE LEE: I have 4 books in the works now.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
BROOKE LEE: Poetry is my favorite, bit I seem to be pretty good at Erotica.

ME: What is your favorite theme/genre to read?
BROOKE LEE: Romance of any sort.

ME: How can readers discover more about you and you work? i.e. Website: Blog: Facebook: Twitter: Lnkedin: Pinterest: Amazon Author Page: Smashwords: Book Links: (* American, UK, etc.) Goodreads:
BROOKE LEE:



      ME: Is there anything else you would like to add that I haven’t included?
BROOKE LEE: I just want people to enjoy my words. Set aside societal norms and read my work because the stories are good, the writing is good and it made them feel something.
ME: Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to take part in this interview.
BROOKE LEE: I'm excited to have been asked, thank you.
