“We didn’t leave our life behind; we created one that we deserved.”
Taking my glove off to feel the soft skin across her swollen belly, I feel as if my own stomach is doing back flips. She grins and grabs my other hand that’s still gloved in leather and forces it between her legs. I grin wide.
“Now fuck your pregnant wife with that gloved finger of yours before I have to go out. I swear to God, I am the horniest pregnant girl in the world.”
I chuckle and don’t waste a moment to watch her squirm with pleasure right before my eyes.
Looking to the heavens above, I thank those responsible for bringing her to me. She’s the good to my evil, the ying to my yang. Together, we complete each other.
I suck at acknowledging people who help me pursue my dream of telling stories, so let me just keep this simple. THANK YOU ALL!
But seriously, here are a couple people who should get at least a mention …
Kel, Hep, KM (they’re the names that I can repeat). You have my back and prove over and over again just why we will be mates forever. The classic quotes you give me in your critique notes always manage to find their way into my books. They are too good to not use! You’re one of the only people on this planet who get to share the joy of my self-doubt meltdowns. Consider yourself lucky! That habit you have of seeing the positive in everything, as much as it might annoy me at the time, it’s a beautiful quality to have, and I would never have you any other way. Please never change … and you’re never too old to laugh at farts!
My husband Matt. I’m sorry I called you a prick when you’re stressed because I’ve locked myself in a room to get the story out, leaving you to manage the kids by yourself. I appreciate everything you do, even when you whinge. I get it —being married to an author sucks sometimes.
Lastly, Lauren and Sali, killer team. You girls breathe life to these stories.
Sali with an I —A GIFT, MY FRIEND! A GIFT!

TJ is a former cop, turned writer who uses her first-hand experience of working the city streets of inner city Sydney, to now write sexy stories of mystery and intrigue. Her head has been buried in crime since studying criminology at university over a decade ago, and she just can’t seem to shake her fascination with the macabre. TJ now lives a quiet life in the tropics with her handsome husband and kids where she writes a weekly column for her local newspaper, and spends her days re-living the action packed life she may have once had through her strong fictional characters.
