Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Terri Anne Browning.
I’m originally from WV, spent a few years in Alabama which was where I was living when my writing career took off. Now I live in Virginia with my husband, three kids, two dogs, and a chatty yellow Quaker parrot named Raven. I write contemporary romance about rockers, bikers, mafiosos—and the kickass women who love them. My series all cross over and have turned into their own universe that now spans multiple generations.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

For me, it depends on the series. Sometimes it’s the first because there are all these characters that have to be introduced. But there have been times, when it was so easy to bring them up in book 1, yet by the time I get tot hat side character’s story, they clam up and I have to beg them to give me a glimpse of who they are.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I have a notebook and Google file just on each series. I try to keep everything from bra size, height, eye color, and tattoos in there. But even with that, I find myself messaging my editor to ask if she remembers what certain side character’s eye color is or their last name. 😳
I recommend starting a series Bible from the beginning. Even if you think that book is only going to be a standalone or a duet.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Self-care is a must. Take a day—or even just an hour—to focus on only you. Crank up the music in the car. Lock the bathroom door and eat a pack of cookies while you’re taking a bath. Sometimes you just have to take that moment to breathe.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

I write on my phone with Google, so most days I can spend anywhere from 2-16 hours writing on and off. It’s just easier for me, because 1) Google auto saves and I don’t have to worry about losing anything. 2) it takes too much energy to open my laptop, do whatever update might be needed, check my emails, add to my playlist, and then finally open the WIP doc—by which time my mind is ready to shut down and take a nap. I’m more productive on my phone.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Emmie Armstrong. She is my OG. My readers love her and still love getting a glimpse of her in the new generation series.

What is your definition of success?

With each new chapter in their lives, their goals change and therefore their perception of success is different. If you’re happy with who you are, then in my opinion you are successful.

#WOTR24 #Review Defying her Mafioso (The Vitucci Mafiosos Book 1) by Terri Anne Browning

Ciro Donati was many things:

My father’s most valued and trusted soldier.

My brother’s best friend and second in command.

The only man I would give up everything for.

We were still kids when I fell in love with the Mafioso, knowing full well who he was to become.

A beast of a man that made people disappear—and probably enjoyed every second of it.

But with me, he was tender, protective. He treated me like I was the most precious thing in the world to him.

And then he sent me away.

Scarlett Vitucci was many things:

The daughter of the biggest Cosa Nostra boss from New York to Chicago.

The sister of the man I would gladly take a bullet for.

The only woman I would ever love.

Sending her away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t deserve her or her love. For years I stayed away. Ignored the gnawing ache that her absence left in my chest.

Seeing her now, I know fighting what I felt for her is impossible. Letting her go had been a huge mistake.

One I would never repeat again.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I was absolutely hooked from the very first page! I needed the story and just knew that that the cleanup of the beginning was going to be epic. I keep reading and reading and got really invested in these characters. I keep turning the pages like crazy and then bam! I know that it is really going to get good because the beginning is about to be resolved. Justice is futile! This is about the half way point of the book. This is more of the turning point for Scarlet and Ciro as they are done fighting their attraction and love for each other. Ok, so now I know it is game on and the real bad guy is gonna get his. But then the story sort of fell flat for me. We got the love story and overcoming the terrible obstacles but there was no nothing for the bad guy. He just sort of fell off and everyone was just ok with it. It was definitely not what I would have expected in a Mafia book. Terri Anne Browning is a new to me author and I can say that she can definitely get you hooked because boy, did I have it bad! I just wish there was more to the second half of the book.

#WOTR24 #AgeGap #enemiestoLovers – Limitless by Terri Anne Browning

Limitless: Rockers' Legacy (Sons of the Underground Book 2) by [Terri Anne Browning, Lisa A.  Hollett]

In the Underground, I make the rules.

The Underground is mine.

I call the shots.

It is who and what I am.

I am the Judge, jury, and executioner.

Except to her.

I’ve always been a man who gets what he wants, but she was too young and too sweet to touch.

Now, staying away from her is no longer possible.

She has pushed me to the end of my limits.

My resolve has broken, and I will give up everything, do anything, to hear her say I’m hers.
