Up Late: Writing and listening to bossa nova

I'm totally into this iPod Touch app, Jazz Radio. I normally listen to the fusion station, but tonight I'm listening to bossa nova, Brazillian-style jazz. I'm a total jazz person and this app has all the genres to choose from. Anyway, it makes for a pleasant ambiance when writing:) Peace.

Writer's Sketch Pad: My PostPub thoughts about Monet Love, the story and characters

Blue door near Mafolie Hotel, St. Thomas, USVI. Photo copyright, Blue Knight 2012
Monet Love is a story for women. Sure, men can and should read it to gain insight about how we women think, but I created Monet to shine a light a less common situation; where it's the woman, and not the man, who is torn between two lovers. And both men are good, fairly decent guys, which makes the dilemma much less cut and dry, much more intense and ultimately very interesting to watch unfold.


I give the reader basic physical description, like she's a fleshy woman or he's got a nice build, but I leave my characters sketchy on purpose,  because I really want readers to dive into this sexy, sultry world and fill in the blanks. Ideally, Monet Love readers should be picturing the sexiest people they can think of when they're reading it.
 
Are the characters in Monet Love racially ambiguous? The story's universal, anyone can relate. The main character, Monet, is a black woman, independent and confident as she is, she's stuck in a love triangle with two men. Her family are also black folks, love interest number one, Dwanye, is a Caribbean blend of cultures and love interest number two, Miguel, a man who exerts an incredible amount of influence over Monet is Latino. So, as John Leguizamo once quipped, this story's got it covered in terms of ethnicities. It also takes place in Washington D. C. and St. Thomas. Both the locations are very diverse, and romantic relationships among the various cultures are not uncommon.
 
Monet Love fits into several genres. One is the urban genre, which is basically books by new black authors, many of whom are indie, writing about very "now" subjects like hip hop, crime stories, and there's a lot of erotica in that genre as well. This story also falls under romance, general erotica and short fiction.

There's a good bit of steamy sex in the story. The genre demands it. You may see a little smoke and sparks flying out of your eReader or smartphone
(smile/wink).

Blue Knight Classics: Feelin' the 70s Theme in Maxwell's Matrimony: Maybe You

 
I've been jammin' to Maxwell's 1998 hit, Matrimony: Maybe You, for 14 years now. It's one of my all-time favorite songs. I especially love the 1970s theme, those afro lovin' days:) The song's currently providing me with inspiration for my next book. -BK

Art Imitating Art

 
For those of you who've read Monet Love, Island Steam, this is the kind of music I imagine played by the fictitious band Love Action that my main character, Monet loves so much. This is a reggae remake of the Swedish band Koop's hit song, Island Blues. Very cool song. This would be awesome to use in a soundtrack if Monet Love ever becomes a movie some day (fingers crossed). Check it out!

Black Author BOOK REVIEW: "Blue Knight, a new name to watch in black fiction"

Black Beauty Express wrote, "...a new name to watch in African American  fiction. Knight’s descriptive writing keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. She captures the flavor of St Thomas in world-famous jewelry shops, restaurants and cafes where locals mingle with cruise ship passenger and the essentially Caribbean nightclub scene. The ending is a surprise and leaves you wanting more." Click here to buy Monet Love, the Erotic Story.
