Writing AOM has been a long journey. Somewhere along the way, I’d lost steam because of the ePiracy. I can’t fully say that I’m that driven writer that I was before as ePiracy which continues to plague me and hundreds of other authors. And I would be lying if I didn’t admit it still affects me.

However, I am determined as ever to finish this series. I’ve come too far to not to. So what is taking so long? Many things, but I often wonder if I’m not procrastinating in small ways. As a reader too, I can say that that when things happen in a book with characters you have grown fond of, you often have a somewhat similar response to that event almost as much as a real life event would.

And I think that what happens in this book is making it hard for me to write. So why do it? Why write such events when technically I don’t have to? And it comes down to that is just how the story was meant to go. And I don’t see the story ever ending unless I stay true to it.

Alas, as I trudge along and try to finish this one, I thought I would write a POV. It’s been a while and you all continue to be so patient with me. This POV is told by Mercy. It was just easier to stay in her head seeing that I’m in her head right now. Maybe I’ll write it from the other POV at some point. Maybe. 😉

Thanks for being such loyal readers. It is your kindness, kind words, and encouragement that keep me going. Thanks for that.

And here is the bonus chapter that takes place after BFM.

Okay, so my mother has read Remember and Beg for Mercy. She liked Remember better but I won’t tell you guys why until after it’s released. I’ll let you guys make up your mind first. Okay, getting on topic, she was reading a book. (I got my love of reading from her) and I asked what it was. Turned out it was some steamy romance. So, I say steamy huh? And I asked her if she wanted to read my latest book. She was like “new book”, yikes, because I hadn’t told her about it. I mean who tells their mom about the kind of story I wrote unless you already have such a wide open relationship. Well, anyway, I let her read. At about 5%, she gives me the arch brow and says, HOT. At about 80%, she tell me, I didn’t know you knew all of that. Face Flame, lol, which is why you don’t let your mom read stuff like that. In the end, our topic of conversation has expanded. I’m not sure I’m embarrassed, horrified, or amused. Anyway, it’s good to know she’s given it her stamp of approval.

Next order of business. I’ve been slow about POVs. I’ve been focused on Mercy and the guys. It’s been hard to write a POV and take away time from AOM. However, a bit of inspiration came to me. So check this out.

I wanted to say thank you to you all for being patient and waiting on Angel of Mercy. It’s still a work in progress, but I am working. For those that are wondering why it’s taking so long, I’ll give you the short version. ePiracy sort of took the wind out of my sails. (Look back to previous post for full story Oct/Nov timeframe) Still, I’m committed to finishing the series, so no worries there.

I’ve written a POV to help with the wait. I’ll try to get out another chapter of Sebastian soon.

So here it is, a bonus POV from WFM.
