I spoke with dark romance indie author Summer Riley about her Possession Duology, including Mine, and its brand-new sequel, Ours, and the choices that make this stalker romance resonate with readers. We dive into using a third-person POV and delivering a cliffhanger ending that actually satisfies. Summer reveals how revising and re-releasing Mine on social media helped the book find its audience, why fiction is a safe space for trauma healing, and how a near-death experience pushed her to hit publish. The conversation also previews her next project, The Many Sins of the Douglas Brothers, a four-book, billionaire, dark romance series, and embracing the stops and starts of creativity. If you’re searching for paranormal and dark romance, strong female leads, obsessive heroes, self-publishing strategy, or writing through pain, you’ve come to the right place.
