Beau Brooks
The guy of my dreams sweeps me off my feet and over my handlebars, quite literally. But our budding relationship takes a turn when my troubled past resurfaces, shattering any hope for a future. Now, I feel like a hollowed-out version of myself. Memories of piercing blue eyes and sweeping blond hair are all that remain to get me through a day.

I know I have to make peace with my past to move forward into my future. But am I strong enough?


Dash Richmond
I’m the tenth child of affluent older parents, confident, and privileged. But the future they see for me isn’t how I want to live my life. A chance encounter with a guy my polar opposite changes my path indefinitely, leading me to the life I’ve always wanted.

When he’s ripped away from me, I vow to wait for his return. Now I’m stuck in limbo, unwilling to give up on him.

Can the friction of life destroy what they shared or is your first true love like gravity—an unending universal law?

The Gravity Series is an unforgettable whirlwind romance chronicling the love of two men over three decades. Friction heats up the scene with passionate alpha males who navigate the often-rocky road to love. Love’s rarely easy, but when it’s true, it’s a battle worth fighting for.

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

1.      What literary pilgrimages have you gone on?

Gosh, that’s a hard question right out of the gate. 😊 My writing career started by accident. Truly. And if I can write, anyone can write. Sixteen years ago, I lost my daughter to a drunk driver. I took it really hard and turned to devouring books to keep my thoughts focused. I read and read to distract myself. Accidently, I found that writing kept the story in my mind longer, keeping me centered and focused – a great man explained to me, keep your mind busy because you can’t think of two things at once. Turns out that’s very true. With lots a trial, error, education, and a winding road, books began to be written and released and here we are today. 

2.      What is the first book that made you cry?

I’m not a crier but the first real book I read was Judy Blume’s Forever. The book was passed around my junior high. It created a life long love for romance of all kinds. I like it all, it doesn’t have to have a happy ending, just a forever love. It was really great.

What’s your first book that made you cry?

 3.      Does writing energize or exhaust you?

Both. The beginning of a story is exciting. By the end, I never want to read that story again. The process is difficult. Writing, editing, book covers, marketing, reviews, it’s a lot. It’s sometimes hard to willingly go back to creating a story because its such a consuming process.

 4.      What is your writing Kryptonite?

Distractions by my family and friends. If I hear the word “Mom” one more time… 😊

5.      Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?

I’ve chosen to write under my daughter’s name. I wanted this to be an ode to her life. Surprisingly, I feel like I extended her life. Maybe not the life she’d chose herself, but still something special.

6.      What other authors are you friends with, and how do they help you become a better writer?

The writers I chose to be friends with are all better than me. I have serious respect for Cambria Hebert. I’m such a fan. I also really like AE Via for the same reasons.

7.      Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?

Both maybe? I try hard to write every book as a standalone, but I also toss easter eggs in my stories, other characters come forward all the time. I did a little graphic I’ll share with you about my books.

Answer this: Which of those do you prefer to read? Standalone or connected books?

8.      What authors did you dislike at first but grew into?

Definitely Nora Roberts. I felt her books were too small.

9.      What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?

I don’t follow what’s popular. I read based on covers and description. I really like Taylor Rylan.

10.  As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

I really like the white tigers and lions, but baby elephants are pretty adorable.

11.  How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

So many. SOOOO many. 😊

12.  What did you edit out of this book?

I rewrote the first 20,000 words in Friction. They didn’t feel right.

13.  If you didn’t write, what would you do for work?

I had a floral/catering/corporate gift shop. It was just always so much work.

14.  Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?

Absolutely. Lots of easter eggs.

15.  What is your favorite childhood book?

I can’t remember the books name, but I remember so much of the story is stuck in my head.

Thank you very much for this opportunity. I appreciate you very, very much.
