Saddled (The Stables Trilogy #3)

Page 14

by Penny Lam


  This story, of Bane and Maple and J.B… it’s helped me move back toward a place of joy and love. Writing dark romance isn’t new for me, but this one was painful. It felt good to unleash on the page. But Maple… man, dudes. I obviously channeled some of my own insecurities into her. By the third book, a part of my brain was also yelling.

  Hasn’t she grown by now? Can’t she see she’s a good person? How much more can anyone do to prove that she’s worth it?

  Those are my exact thoughts, to myself. Haven’t I grown by now? Can’t I see that I’m a good person? How much more can anyone do to prove to me that I’m worth it?

  The answers are, of course, yes. I have grown a lot. Being a mom does that. Being an author does that. Being a human does it. I can see that I’m a good person. I don’t even know when I started questioning that, but that’s the damned thing about depression. It fucking sneaks in and can make a saint question themselves (I’m no saint). As for the last-- well, no. No one can do anything to prove to me that I’m worth it. Like Maple, it took me a while to figure out… that’s on me. So that’s a work in progress, but I’ve made leaps and bounds.

  Thank goodness it’s 2016. Thank goodness for growth, and for love.

  And for books, which give us the boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, worlds, action, adventure, whatever it is we need, when we need it.

  If you liked my books, I encourage you to leave a review! Reviews help authors tremendously!

When she isn't writing, she plays hide and seek with her daughter, attempts to do yoga, and drinks a lot of red wine.
