The Rings

All authors have a thing that they do when they write: use a special mug or pen, listen to a special playlist or go to a specific location. I wear rings. With each novel that I write I search for rings that have something to do with the story and inspire me. I wear them throughout the process of writing and editing and then they get retired onto a ring frame that hangs on my wall just beyond my desk.

For Burn Me I wore a set of handcuffs, a red glitter dome ring, and a red glitter circle ring. The red glitter circle ring was extra special because it was a gift from the shop on another ring purchase and it happened to match this book, which I was currently writing on!

I love to promote the shops, mostly Etsy, that I purchased each ring from.  As with many small businesses sometimes the Etsy shop links may lead to a shop that has been closed down or on a break.
