AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!



Hey, loves! We're back for another AMA. If you have a question for me that you would like to be included the next time I do an AMA, you can drop that into the form HERE.

Onto the questions for this month:

1. Just finished Bene!! It's amazing!! Trying not to give anything away, but are we going to get a novella for them? Or is it going to be a part of the companion?


Thank you so much. And yes, Bene and Vanna will have their own piece in the companion releasing in January 2020 for the Guzzi Legacy called The Firsts. But that will be it for them. 

2. Hi, I love every single one of your books! I got particularly attached to Renzo - such heart ❤️ 🌹I wanted to ask you if there were future books planned for Diego and Rose?

Thank you. There will be a companion for Diego next year that will publish alongside the Boxset. You will not have to buy the boxset to get the companion, it will publish by itself as well. But that will be it for them. There will be nothing for Rose. 

3. Do you think you would ever write a heroine who cannot have kids?

I mean, yeah, I can't see why not, eventually. 

I've written heroines who have suffered with fertility struggles and infant loss. It's just a matter of finding the right characters and plot for that sort of thing to be included. I've touched on a lot of delicate topics - I don't, however, just throw them in to mark another one off the list, you know? 

So eventually. When it's the right time. 

4. What is your least favorite part of being a writer?

Always, always the business side of things. The stuff that's all behind the scenes that nobody but the person handling the business really gets to see. It's not fun - it's a lot of repetitive stuff. People don't get into writing because they want to design covers and promo and market and run ads and everything else that goes into this business now. 

But it's where we are. 

5. What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?

The Hunted above everything else. Everything else coming out in 2020 are people my readers who have been reading along will recognize and be excited to get their standalone novels. It's not a new world - they're familiar and they're in my usual genre so marketing to readers who aren't my normal readers will be as it normally is. 

The Hunted is new. 

New world. 
New sub-genre. 
New rules. 
New everything. 

And it's a challenge to interest people who when they look at my stuff, think mob romance, organize crime, romantic suspense ... all human, lol. 

But my muse jumped into The Hunted wholeheartedly. There is a whole world burning in the back of my brain - something that could be amazing and great - and I want to get people as excited for it as they are when I announce the release date for the Astors series, or a new book in the Commission world. 

So, anywho. 


Until next time, loves! 

BK.

Tidak Sebaik Musa, Tidak Sejahat Fir'aun

“ Sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Lembut, Dia mencintai kelembutan dalam segala urusan ” - HR. Bukhari - Sejenak, mari kita kembali ke zaman dahulu kala, kembali pada lembaran sejarah dunia yang dinodai oleh kekafiran seorang Fir’aun. Ya, diktator nomor 1 sepanjang sejarah manusia ini merupakan penguasa sebuah peradaban yang paling maju di dunia saat itu. Harta, tahta, dan dunia seakan keseluruhan adalah miliknya. Tapi memang dasar Fir’aun, ia yang tidak akan pernah merasa puas, Ia yang tak merasa cukup menjadi manusia saja, ia ingin menjadi lebih daripada itu, ia memiliki obsesi untuk melampaui batas-batas kemanusiaan. Ya, ia ingin menjadi TUHAN. “ Kemudian (Fir’aun) berkata, “Akulah tuhanmu yang paling tinggi ”” ( QS. An Naazi’at: 24 ) Dan dengan segala kekuasaan yang ia miliki, ia daulat dirinya sendiri sebagai Rabb semesta alam. Tangan besi Fir’aun yang telah merampas kehormatan ribuan atau mungkin jutaan manusia telah memaksa mereka untuk tunduk patuh secara mutlak kepada titahnya. E...

Kupas Tuntas: Adakah Bid'ah Hasanah?

“Betapa banyak orang yang menginginkan kebaikan, namun tidak mendapatkannya” - HR. Ad Darimi , atsar Abdullah bin Mas’ud- Oleh: Ustadz Syariful Mahya Lubis, Lc.* Sejumlah jawaban direkayasa, sejumlah dalilpun dipaksakan, demi melegalkan bid’ah, dan demi memberanikan orang melakukannya. Pertanyaan tersebut terkait langsung dengan Islam, yang oleh karenanya membutuhkan jawaban yang merujuk kepada Al Qur’an dan Hadits sebagai sumber kebenaran dalam Islam, jawaban-jawaban yang hanya bersifat logika, tidak akan dapat menguak kebenaran dalam permasalahan Islam. Sebab selogis apapun sebuah jawaban tetap saja ia spekulasi relatif, yang sudah pasti dapat dipatahkan dengan hal yang sama, lebih-lebih apabila jawaban-jawaban logis tadi kontaradiktif dengan dalil-dalil yang syar’i. Definisi Nabi ï·º bersabda, “ Siapapun yang melakukan amal yang tidak kami perintahkan , maka amal tersebut tertolak (tidak diterima)” ( HR. Bukhari dan Muslim , dari ‘Aisyah) . Beliau juga bersabda, “ Setiap (ibadah) y...

The Cece & Juan Vignettes: Ch 6

Hey, loves! We're back again for another episode of The Cece & Juan Chronicles. If you're new here, you can catch up with the other chapters here: CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE * Chapter 6 - Changes Juan POV 14 years old ... "How? How , Miguel?" Juan shook his head at the table, his younger sisters too busy with the tablet they were currently sharing to watch their favorite YouTubers more important than their mother's fake breakdown. Then again, maybe that was why they didn't care--because they knew it was just their ma acting her usual way again. "Steph--" "How do I have a fourteen-year-old , Miguel? He was just five !" His mother had been doing this and going on since he first woke up that morning. Since his birthday fell right in the middle of the week this year, he hadn't cared too much about the actual day he turned fourteen. He was more excited for the coming weekend when his parents planned a...
