Wild Angel – Excerpts
Stone prowled from one corner of the
platform to the other with his guitar then stepped back to the mic to sing. The man sure knew how
to whip people into a frenzy. Nicks played to the crowd in one corner, then turned her attention to
Stone. She met him in the middle, thrusting her guitar at him with her pelvis. He clutched his chest
and staggered back, feigning a heart attack. She laughed and went after him, cornering him against
one of the light supports.
She couldn’t explain it, but being up there
with him felt sexual. He was hotter than hell, and if they were a thing, the only task left to do was
make it official. She stared into his eyes as she played, silently making promises she intended to
keep. Tonight.
He turned to the crowd, begging them with
his eyes for a rescue. Willow had said she came across like a ten-foot-tall warrior woman when she
played. That’s exactly how she felt sharing a stage with Stone Jensen. She finally backed away and
freed him from captivity against the support. For the time being, anyway.

I’ve always had stories swirling through my head. Crazy stuff,
totally whack situations. I was a voracious reader as a child, choosing to escape into the world of
books. I wrote stories when I was a teen, but quit as I grew up. (Keep in mind, there were no
computers then. Writing a book or story consisted of a brand-new notebook and a ballpoint pen.) I
found some of these early stories as I cleaned out my grandmother’s house after she passed.

I started writing again in 2012 after my husband lost his job. Aislin

Sometime in the middle of writing Winter’s Child, I had the
inexplicable urge to swear like sailor, use modern vernacular, and write steamy sex scenes. I was
amused and tried to push it aside. The language in a historical fantasy is obviously much different
from a contemporary romance, so I had to behave myself.

I finally just thought, fuck it. I’ll do it. It was during that time
that I started to write “Micah’s Island.” I simply needed to purge the wild story that had taken over
my brain by then. It was so much fun to write. What would happen if you met a man who
had never seen a grown woman before?

I chose the pen name Shari Copell because Micah’s Island was so
very different from the Àlainnshire series. Copella was my grandmother’s maiden name—I just
dropped the A.

For the most part, people seemed to like Micah, though he was a
man of few words. I got some nice (and not so nice) emails about it, mostly from people
wanting a better ending. I promptly wrote them one.

I wasn’t sure I would ever write another contemporary romance
until Rock’n Tapestries dropped into my head, nearly complete from beginning to end (though I did
run some things past Tara Chevrestt, who edits for me. Her suggestions were invaluable.)
You just have to indulge your muse when that happens, as it doesn’t happen
often.
