Sensous Paranormal Romances
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you let your Muse Run Free? Well that is exactly what I did. BrandyWine has been a real part of my writing for years but recently there seemed to be a constant conflict. So yours truly did the worst thing possible I let the block consume me until I forgot why I was writing in the first place. Though I had found myself moving from what I loved to do, there was always a constant nagging coming from inside me. Trying to get back what I lost I pulled out a series of books I had been working, did some research and found that my Muse was yelling at me to stop.
It was then I did the one thing many writers forget at various times and that is to listen the voice inside us. Inspired by people that have traveled throughout my life and some that continually to do so, BrandyWine got her voice back as Brandy Raye Daniels and Brandy’s Candy is her erotic series… (This series delves into a world that many do not understand or have misconceptions about, I hope that you walk away with a better understanding for those that think different than you do)
The following excerpt is meant to give only a taste of the story and is not the final product...
Brandy Raye Daniels
Brandy’s Candy Part 1
Just a taste
The pain was too much, the need too intense. He had chosen her over me and I didn’t know how to deal with it. I had given all I was and could be, but it was not enough, Eric loved Alicia more.

“Have you ever heard that horrible advice, that if you love someone you have to let them go?” I starred at my Best Friend and closest companion, Pat.
William Vincent Patrick and I have been together for years; he has seen me through good times and bad. Been though the bad times a lot and none more so than when a Blood Ruby would call my name with its glorious glare. Yea I have a real problem with rubies, but Blood Reds are my downfall. The glistening call of the color is too much and I cannot resist.
Pat and I met at a costume party in college, I was a Southern Belle and he was playing a Count. It was so funny, he thought he could simply walk over and I would fall at his feet. You have to understand Pat is tall, black hair, and the most amazing green eyes. He is a heartthrob and knows it. So when a woman doesn’t pay attention to his looks, well he gets confused. Laughing I shook my head at him then remembered why we were there.
The pain returned and for a moment I hated Pat, he hadn’t liked Eric. Frankly, Pat had made being around both of them uncomfortable. I loved Pat but sometimes he is a jerk.
“Okay Brandy what happened?” Pat sounded tired and I guess he had a right to be. I was forever coming to him and whining, normally about how bad my job sucked or about the guy in my life. With anyone else I am hard nosed, and even more of a hard ass. I run a company, fought to run it and no one is getting in my way. I am the boss and I revel in the power it wields. No one can hurt me anymore unless I allow it, and Eric had.
“Eric.” The one word choked me up, he was all I ever wanted but he couldn’t see it. We had only been together a few short months but it was the most intense months of my life.
“Fine you want to play twenty questions. What did oh so perfect for you Eric do this time?”
Yea Pat was mad all right.
“Eric and I had been drifting apart for a while now. He wanted something I cannot give him. I wanted and needed more as well but when I asked he refused. I give him everything I am and it wasn’t enough. I had hoped to fix whatever was going wrong with us but instead I made it worse. I brought Alicia into this, and now I am paying the price.” I cried out loud. I hate this softer side of me; I have too much to worry about. I cannot deal with these emotions.
