Twirly
Girl
Venom Series 2
By: V. L.
Locey
Alicia Avery is
team Venoms Captain, who is born into a very powerful political family. This
means she must act the part of a well behaved young woman, all prim and proper
and play hockey too.
If you know
hockey, you know it involves a strong person, and a lot of exercise and work
out. Being team captain, it also will involve being in charge and scheduling
and making sure things flow properly, and keeping the team in high spirits, and
wanting to win. Hockey means you have goals, literally and physically. Along
with that, comes pain and agony.
Alicia’s parents
dictate to her, and Alicia stays focused with her determination. Her determination
is met with a radical new hair cut. Her parents are anything but pleased.
Then an unplanned acquaintance
catches the eye of Alicia. A street performer, who is raising his daughter
alone, catches her eye, and she can’t help but find him interesting. His name
is Dale Christie, and his daughter is Wren Song.
This man is very
wrong for Alicia, per everyone who judges her thinks. But Alicia is strong
willed, and can’t stop thinking about him, and her thoughts seem to be focused
on him no matter what she does.
Everyone thinks
that you should pick the perfect mate, or person out by their bank account, by
their promise of their future, and things like this. But Alicia cannot will
herself to do that.
The heart wants
what the heart wants.
Hockey has always
been the only thing Alicia has ever wanted and needed. Nothing more, nothing
less. Until now. Now her thoughts are distracted, and she cannot focus.
Alicia’s whole
life is turned upside down, and she must make a decision….
I give this book
five stars, because I couldn’t put it down. I was in love with the complete turnaround
Alicia went through. I have been there, I have tried to convince my parents
that what they wanted for me was not the right thing, but they didn’t care. Everyone
around always thinks they know what is best for you. They don’t realize they
just don’t understand your needs. This book will help you see, what it is that
the heart wants. “Twirly Girl” is a remarkable book that is about the love and
understand of a person’s own feelings, and listening to their self first, and
no one else. You will enjoy this, if you love remarkable eye opening and true
romances.
My questions for Ms. Locey:
1. What made you write this book
and how long did it take?
I wanted to pen a sports romance
series where the leading ladies weren't the typical size 2, blonde, bubbly
heroines. I wanted to show the world that a woman with curves and some sass
could win the heart of the handsome younger man even if she were not Susie
Sunshine. All of my heroines, and heroes when talking about my M/M books, are
not Princes or Princesses. They are flawed and it shows. Some are heavy, some
are painfully shy, some are in their 40's or 50's, some are handicapped, and
one in particular is just an out-and-out jerk. Yes, I'm looking at you, Victor
Kalinski.
Pink Pucks probably took about a
month for a completed first draft. I spend at least 2-3 hours per day writing,
so things go rather quickly most generally.
2. Are you yourself into Hockey?
Oh yes, I am a super rabid New
York Rangers fan. I make a yearly pilgrimage to New York City with my best
buddy Michele (another huge hockey fan) just to visit Madison Square Garden to
see a Rangers game. My family and I also attend as many minor league games as
we can since we have an ECHL team close by.
3. Do you have photos or
descriptions of Viviana, her sister and/or Alain?
I have a Pinterest board with all
sorts of images for Pink Pucks & Power Plays, as well as all my other
books. Here's the link:
4. What are your hobbies?
I love to read, do yoga, collect
Marvel comics, watch hockey, chill with my chickens, play video games, and
enjoy going to the movies with my hubby and daughter.
5. What all education do you have?
I have a high school diploma.
6. What do you suggest to aspiring
authors?
There are two things that I like
to pass along to folks who are hoping to write that book they've been dreaming
of:
1-Do not let anyone tell you that
you are too fat, skinny, young, old, handicapped, rich, poor, green, purple,
yellow, brown, white, or lime green to follow your dreams.
2-Put your backside in that chair
and write. All the talent, amazing characters, and superb plots mean nothing if
you do not learn the discipline required to be an author. That means your butt
in that chair every day, no matter what. I know, it's harsh advice, but it's
one of the most important things that I can pass along aspiring authors.
7. What are you working on now?
At the moment I'm working on a
book for my Venom erotic hockey series titled Angle Play. The Venom series spun
off the To Love a Wildcat series and is about a women's pro team playing in
Philly.
8. Who is/are your favorite
Author(s)?
Oh boy, there are so many! Off the
top of my head, we'll go with J.R. Ward, Diana Gabaldon, George RR Martin, Rick
Riordan, and Armistead Maupin. My reading tastes are all over as you can see.

of the readers out there! We authors love every reader and blogger who supports
the reading community as well as the world of romance!
