“I’m going to teach them to run a maze!”
I gulp. “That sounds very exciting.”
He nods and over his head I see both his father and his uncle turning purple with held-in laughter. Oh, the sadists I love.
About Roxy Harte
Multi-published author Roxy Harte has loved erotic romance novels since she stumbled across her first at the tender age of thirteen. Since she especially loves books that offer strong insight into the characters’ psyches, as a writer she wants to provide readers with characters who are not only charismatic and engaging, but also intellectually, spiritually and sexually complex. When she started writing in earnest twelve years ago, it provided an evening respite from the full-time care of her invalid mother and Alzheimer-diagnosed father, and although both of her parents died a decade ago, she now writes so that her readers may find a small escape of their own at the end of a tedious day.
Roxy lives in southwestern Ohio in a small town bordered by fields and railroad tracks, with her husband and collegiate daughter, two boisterous dogs, Petey and Jazzi, and five cats, Miss Kitty, Sadie, Dharma, Karma and Tilak.
