Get To Know Author Monique Love
When did you start writing?
I started writing at the age of 12 years old. Making books out of five subjects notebooks using the brown paper as my book covers. I always knew writing and creating were my gifts.
In your opinion, what are the most important elements of good writing?
In my opinion, the most important elements of good writing are honesty, emotional connection, and clarity of voice. A story has to feel true, even when it’s fictional; readers can sense when a writer is being real versus when they’re holding back. Strong characters with depth and flaws are essential because people connect to people, not perfection. Good writing also requires intentional pacing, vivid details, and dialogue that sounds natural and purposeful. Most importantly, a clear author’s voice matters. When a writer understands who they are and what they’re trying to say, the story flows with confidence. Technical skills can always be learned, but authenticity, heart, and purpose are what turn words on a page into something that stays with the reader long after the book ends. What is the most challenging part of writing for you?
The most challenging part of writing for me is revisiting emotional spaces that still carry weight. Writing honestly means opening doors to pain, trauma, love, and loss that don’t always stay on the page; they follow you afterward. I don’t skim over emotions; I sit in them, and that can be draining. Another challenge is knowing when to stop revising. Because I’m deeply connected to my stories, it’s easy to keep tweaking scenes, wanting every line to hit just right. Balancing emotional truth with the discipline to let the work be finished is something I’m constantly learning, but it’s also what keeps my writing raw and authentic.
Who is your favorite author and why?
One of my favorite authors is Sister Souljah because she writes with unapologetic truth and purpose. Her storytelling doesn’t just entertain; it challenges the reader to think critically about society, culture, and self. I admire how she blends strong Black characters with political awareness, emotional depth, and moral complexity without watering anything down. Her work showed me early on that writing can be both powerful and fearless, and that stories rooted in truth can spark conversation, growth, and accountability. She inspires me to stay bold with my voice and intentional with my message, no matter how uncomfortable the truth may be
What would you like to say to your readers?
I want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your time, your emotions, and sometimes your own lived experiences. Every page you read, every message you send, and every review you leave reminds me that these stories matter. My hope is that you see yourself in my characters, feel understood in moments you couldn’t put into words, and find strength where you once felt alone. Never forget that your story is important, your healing is valid, and your voice deserves space. I write for you, with you in mind, and because of you. Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Book Spotlight:
Some games never end.
Six months after disappearing with millions and leaving a trail of bodies behind, Tariah is living her best life under a new identity.
New city.
New money.
New victims.
Or so she thought.
For two years, Tariah has convinced herself she won.
She escaped Atlanta.
She escaped the bodies.
She escaped the blood.
Most importantly...
She escaped the consequences.
Now she's living exactly the life she always wanted luxury, freedom, and unlimited access to powerful men willing to risk everything for her attention.
But Miami is different.
The men are smarter.
The money is bigger.
And for the first time, Tariah meets a man who refuses to play by her rules.
A man who watches as carefully as she does.
A man who asks questions she doesn't want to answer.
A man who may be just as dangerous as she is.
Because predators recognize predators.
And this time...
The hunt goes both ways.
Lust.
Power.
Obsession.
Betrayal.
A woman who always wins.
A man who refuses to lose.
Will Tariah create another victim?
Or has she finally met her equal?
