Cameron I cared about fun. I cared about getting through school and my future with the mafia. That is until I was wrecked by London Layla Traverson’s secret and a grimy biker. Cain I cared about my bike, fighting and my club- The Oath Keepers MC. Well, up until I saw London Layla Traverson’s icy blue eye’s again. London I had to get to Tennessee to help Emily as fast as possible. She was in trouble and I knew what was coming for her. No one had any idea I had a secret of my own. A secret that was big enough to change our lives. Who knew with Cameron and Cain, our secrets would all become Exposed. This is book 2 in the Series. Secrets MUST be read first!

“I can’t fucking deal with this shit right now.” I run my hands through my hair and pull at the ends. Now I understand why Tate’s always doing it. If he’s dealing with stressful shit like this, I can see the appeal of pulling your hair out.
“Oh, you ca
n’t fucking deal? No big surprise there, Cameron! Anytime we talk about anything remotely serious you take off so you don’t have to deal with it. You don’t have to run this time, I’m fucking going to the apartment. I’m sick of you being such a fucking pussy when it comes to serious shit.” I just stand in the middle of the room and watch her throw her stuff in her bag quickly and don’t move to stop her. She pulls her bag toward the door but stops and looks back at me. I stay quiet and blink at her.
“Fuck you, Cameron Wentworth,” she says seriously then walks out the door. Fuck me indeed.

Sapphire is a Texas girl who is crazy about football. She has always had a knack for writing, whether
it is poems or stories. She originally studied psychology and that has only added to her passion for writing. She has two boys and has been married for ten years. When she’s not busy in her writing cave, she’s busy playing with her three Doberman Pinschers. She loves to donate to help animals and watching a good action movie

Sapphire chatted with us over e-mail giving us a glimpse of her everyday life. 
Oh, and she is a New England Patriots fan! GO PATS!! 


When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I have always loved writing, whether it is a poem/short story when I was younger or one of the many college papers I wrote for all of my Psychology classes I took in college. I started really writing books about three years ago. My first published piece is my book Secrets. It is the first book I wrote completely for myself. I wanted to write exactly the type of book I would want to read, and I did.


How long does it take you to write a book?
So far, my average is about a month. I want to start writing longer books though, so I expect my time to increase slightly.

What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
I write after my gym session, from 11:30 am-1pm. I write when I wait to pick my kids up 1:30-2:40. I write in the evenings when my hubby goes to bed 11:30 p.m.- 1 am. I write everyday of the week if possible, sometimes it's 500 words and others it's 5,000. I edit as I go, so I am on my laptop a lot. I've never been one to just pound out words and not worry about them. I try to make them perfect, so my editing process goes quickly during first edits.

Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?
I will be driving or in the shower and ideas just hit me out of nowhere. I have a bad habit of just standing in the shower and running a scene through my head.
  
Tell us a little about your background!
I’m a mom of two awesome boys. I married my love when I was twenty years old. That was eleven years ago and we are still going strong, even after his deployments from the military. I absolutely love football. I am a die-hard New England Patriots fan. I have gone to college for ten years, for four different majors. I studied Psychology to become a Doctor the past 4 years but have fallen back in love with writing. I have two Doberman Pinschers, who I love a great deal. We are currently planning on having another baby. We want to get pregnant around June. I was mostly raised by my grandmother. She is the woman I idolize and hold the highest respect for. I love fast cars, tattoos, and loud music.
  
What is the biggest lie you've ever told?
I can't really remember. My biggest pet peeve is lying. I tend to hurt peoples feelings by being too honest.

Have you ever been in trouble with the police? If YES, for what?
LOL wow! Was not expecting this question!!! Okay when I was a teenager I got into an argument with my mom and left walking to a corner store close to the house. The cops were called and it was blown way out of proportion.
   
What is your biggest fear?
Not being a good mother. I had a rough childhood and do my best to give my children a happy life.

If you were a super hero, what would your name be? What costume would you wear?
LOL I would totally wear black leather!!! Just because I could! My name would probably be Saucy Sapphire! Wait, that sounded way too close to a stripper name...

What secret talents do you have?
I am pretty crafty, not sure if that counts?

If you could have any accent from anywhere in the world, what would you choose?
Definitely favorite question! I absolutely love accents! I guess I would say British if I have to pick just one!

Do you ever daydream about people you see at the park? Airport? Train station? Mall? And build romance scenes around them while you daydream?
No, never. My characters appear to me a certain way and it's usually really hard to find someone who meets the criteria. The closest so far to a character of mine has been David Byers.

What is your favorite body part?
Arms. A man with big, muscular arms is so sexy!

What would you name the autobiography of your life?
Live and Learn

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?
I would choose to be in Beautiful Disaster so I could have Travis Maddox!

Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?
When I was younger I was always told I looked like Helen hunt or the blonde chick who played in Joan or Arc or some movie lol

What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
I loath washing dishes!
  
What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
I have dreamed both times- I was pregnant with boys and even accurate descriptions of hair and eye color. I recently had a dream I had twin boys and my husband freaked out, from the previous accuracy with my other sons LOL
  
If you had to choose, which one would it be: intelligent but not that good looking, or good looking but not that intelligent?
Looks. I was an ugly duckling when I was a kid. Things are so much easier in life when you are somewhat pretty. Sounds shallow, but from my experience, the truth.

What is the best book you have read so far?
Too many to list. I can give you a top 20, but not 1.
  
What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
I read or write.

When making an entrance into a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost?
It depends on who's party it is. If it's my BFF then I make myself known. If it's an event or something I'm not as comfortable with, I look for someone I know.

What’s one thing you’d rather pay someone to do than do yourself? Why?
I would rather pay and get my eyebrows waxed than do them myself. Less time consuming and less painful with the wax!

When do you find yourself singing?
When I am writing with my headphones in, I sing a lot.

What's the absolute best vacation you can imagine?
One with no phones, nice weather, friendly people, no stress and lot's of money I can spend!

You have to drink four pints of a liquid per day (not water). What is it?
Coca Cola

Who's your fantasy celebrity boyfriend?
Chris Evans

If your home were on fire and you did not have to worry about saving any of the five P's (people, pets, photos, papers, prescriptions), what one item would you choose to save?
My laptop with my work on it.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?
The list is pretty large!

If someone asked you to give them a random piece of advice, what would you say?
Do what makes you happy.

Do you write naked?
No lol I have kids around during those times

What’s the first thing you notice about people?
Shoes and teeth
