****Sandra De Helen’s Till Darkness Comes is #112 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote that specific excerpt.  All INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION links are at the end of this piece. 

Has this been published? And it is totally fine if the answer is no.   If yes, what publisher and what publication date? Yes, McCorkle Ink (self-published), November 2015.

What is the date you began writing this piece of fiction and the date when you completely finished the piece of fiction? I wrote it for NaNoWriMo November 2012. I “won” the month, and had a sufficient number of words, but it was a hot mess. In January 2016, I undertook the editing of it, which took me many months. Then it had to be copy edited, proofread, and formatted. So, November 2016 it was published.

Where did you do most of your writing for this fiction work?  And please describe in detail.  I did most of this work at my dining room table.

What were your writing habits while writing this work- did you drink something as you wrote, listen to music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day? I wrote directly on laptop, from morning till late afternoon. Sometimes I listened to music, for specific moods.

What excerpt of the book was the most emotional for you to write? This excerpt can be as short or as long as you prefer.

The hotel room smelled of roses. The lights were soft, almost pink. Beth's skin glowed. The temperature was just right, the carpet was so thick she couldn't wait to take off her heels and sink into it with bare feet. Josh removed his shoes and socks too, and they ran around the room on the carpet, then jumped on the bed several times, falling down laughing.

"Roll over, I'll undo your dress."

She did. Then she stood before him in her ivory lace corset and silk half slip that matched her wedding gown.

"God, you're gorgeous! I could eat you up with a spoon!"

Beth laughed, and reached for him. She began to unbutton his shirt.

"No. No, I want to eat you with a spoon. Leave my clothes alone. We got a spoon in here? Lay down on the bed."

"No, Josh. I don't want you to do anything weird. Let's make love. It's our honeymoon. Let me ..."

"No! I said. You're mine now, Beth. I married you, I own you. You're my wife. Didn't you hear the preacher? Man and wife. I'm the man, you're the wife. You do what I say. I say you lay down and I do what I want. I want to get a spoon and stick it in you. I might want to eat a piece of you. See if you taste as good as you look."

"No. You're acting crazy." Beth moved away from the bed to get her overnight bag and change into a tee shirt and jeans she had brought for the next day. Josh jumped off the bed, grabbed her from behind, swung her around and slapped her face with an open hand. Hard. Beth nearly fell to her knees.

"Don't ever call me crazy. I am not crazy. I am the man. You got that?" She nodded. "All right then, let me hear you say it."

"You're the man. You're not crazy."

"That's right. Now get your clothes off and lay on the bed."

Beth did as she was told. Josh walked around the room opening drawers and doors until he found the coffeemaker and utensils. Then he undressed, returned to the bed with a plastic spoon, yanked open Bess's legs, stuck a spoon inside her vagina, twisted it around and pulled it out. He repeated this several times until he pulled it out streaked with blood. Then he raped her.

Why is this excerpt so emotional for you to write?  Because it is based on a similar scene that actually happened to me in the first days after my own marriage at 15. 

And can you describe your own emotional experience of writing this specific scene/excerpt? I felt the old feelings of fear and danger, my throat tightened, my body tried to make itself smaller, my mouth dried up.

Were there any deletions from this excerpt that you can share with us? No. I don’t do it that way. I do it all on computer and I don’t save the old drafts.

Other works you have published? I have a female Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson series: The Hounding is the first; The Illustrious Client is the second in the series.

Anything you would like to add? I also write poetry. My first collection [Desire Returns for a Visit] was published last November by Launch Point Press (a lesbian indie publisher), and my second will be out this November. Launch Point contracted with me to publish at least eight collections of my poetry.

Sandra de Helen, author of the Shirley Combs/Dr. Mary Watson series and the lesbian thriller Till Darkness Comes is a produced playwright, as well as a poet. Her full-length play A Missouri Cycle garnered her a residency for fall of 2017 at Firefly Farms; her play A Grave Situation was produced in 2017 by Athena Cats as part of their theatre festival in Santa Monica. Something's Got to Give was produced in Oregon in 2015 as part of the 365 Women A Year Playwriting Project. Singer Clashes with Cougar was produced in New York in July, 2014 by{Your Name Here} A Queer Theatre Company. Her poetry collections are published or forthcoming from Launch Point Press. Samples of her work are available at her website
