The Greatest Sensation

All too often we think that power or accomplishment is what drives us – getting the fancy job, a raise, more money, winning, doing something no one else can do. People can seem so driven, so ambitious.

I remember this woman I used to know. Anytime I thought of her, it was usually something like, “That girl isn’t tied down by emotions or romantic thoughts. She has her head on straight and isn’t going to stop for anything.”

Not too long ago I found out that she quit her job and dropped all of her dreams for a husband and a family. She altered who she was as an individual to anchor herself to her true love and her never-voiced dream of children.

That woman?

Is me.

Children were never on my radar because I wanted to be a doctor, President of the USA, an author, a movie director, and I wanted to have seven boyfriends because one just wasn’t enough (no, I wasn’t a dater and hadn’t realized men take more attention than I thought possible).

But I never read ambitious books. I worked my tail off, but when I was reading? I was voraciously caught up in the pages of romances – historicals, paranormals, contemporaries, young adult, you name it! And they all centered on romance, getting the guy, being happy forever. And the happy was always tied up in love.

And when I finally fell in love? I slowed down on reading the romances and turned to thrillers, mysteries, crime books, etc.

My mom asked me once why I didn’t read romances anymore. I pointed out that I still enjoyed them immensely; I just felt like I had so much romance in my life, I didn’t need it anymore.

And I didn’t.

Then I felt the need to start writing romances (along with all my suspense). I like the story around love, because I had such a fun romance too.

When I think about being a doctor again, or going for a crazy hard job or anything that will pull me away from my family longer than I want to be away – I look at my children and my amazing husband and the need isn’t there. I write because I’m happy writing. And I’m happiest with them.

I changed my dreams because the feeling and emotion I was always seeking – was love. And I have that. I write romances to help spread love.

Where would I have been without the books I’d read growing up? I’m not sure.

But we’re all seeking that feeling of finding someone who loves us no matter what, loves us for who we are – not who we can change to be – and I think that’s the sensation – the emotion – that drives us.

It drove me.

Genre: Adult, Romantic Comedy
Release Date: March 26, 2015
Cover Designed By: Wicked by Design
Having your cake and eating it too is something everyone on the planet wants in life. For some, it is the happy family with two monsters for kids that no matter what happens, they can do no wrong, some it is fame on the big screen, being stalked by paparazzi and others, it is to travel the world seeing all that mother nature has to offer. Gag me with an overstuffed pillow. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted it all, but my vision of happiness is the dream job, the dream car, the awesome apartment and a plate of bacon all to myself. The only thing I didn’t want was a man. In my experience, men only cloud your judgment and replace your dreams with theirs.
Things were going according to plan until fate, karma, destiny, fortune or whatever you want to call it stepped in and said “Oh wait, no, I don’t think so.” and took it all from me.
For now I’m stuck mooching off my best friend and working desperately trying to figure out a way to get it all back. That is until fate slaps a Jesse in my face. But let me start from the beginning. So grab a plate of Bacon or your favorite snack and let me tell you all about it.

FORBIDDEN FAITH by TJ West
Cover Design: Cover to Cover Designs
Cover Model: Lance Jones
They fell in love and it was perfect, until it wasn’t.
 A pay off, a lie. Two
lives torn apart, gone their separate ways.
 Is it possible to
rekindle when you are Forbidden Faith?
What can I do to take this Arizona sky
and replace it with the color of your eyes.
Life has not been the same since
you walked inside my flame,
staring inside my soul.
I am forbidden to ever get near you
But am dying to be near you
The ink travels on my sleeve
Forbidden Faith is now inside of me.
The piercings leave holes in my skin
but what you leave is bigger from within.
How can this be for real when nothing in front of me
has ever ripped me to shreds.
I never want to look back but never want to move ahead.
I am forbidden to ever get near you.
But am dying to be near you
The ink travels on my sleeve
Forbidden Faith is now inside of me.
What makes me will break me
What you give me will heal me
Show me how to get out of this concrete
By lifting me above this heavy street, soaring
through the Arizona sky.
I am forbidden to ever get near you
But am dying to be near you
The ink travels on my sleeve
Forbidden Faith is now inside of me
I wish I had never met you
cause’ everything has changed
my path is now unpredictable since you walked inside my
flame!
Forbidden to ever get near you
Dying to be near you
Your ink travels on my sleeve
Faith is now inside of me. I am Forbidden.
