Keeping Melanie’s Clothes On
Invasion of Privacy on Fourth Wall Friday

I have to admit, while writing Invasion of Privacy I’ve developed quite an intense crush for Melanie, one of the main characters. Besides being a skilled computer programmer, she has an adult webcam chat site she runs from home. Thinking about her sitting in front of her computer naked while talking to men has kept me up many nights.

I’m determined to keep my infatuation under control so I don’t make a fool of myself. We’ll see how that goes. Read more
