A Glory Days Reunion Novellas are…




Understand Me (Part 1)



Getting away from the abuse of a lover was how I ended up working for the hottest rock band to hit the airwaves in a decade. Glory Days was my way out, and the one place I thought I could hide from him.
Kane Maddox, the sexy as hell drummer for the band, talked a good talk, but I wasn’t ready to get involved with anyone again, let alone another rockstar.
Kane could see the scars underneath my tattoos and showed me a life I’d always dreamed of. Until one night, when my past finally catches up with me, and I suffer again at the hands of a monster.

Beg Me (Part 2)



Being away from Delilah…yeah, that didn’t work out so well for me. It’d been THREE months since she went to Glory’s Place, the women’s shelter for abused women. I wasn’t allowed to see her, or even visit.
My anxiety was at full force, my concentration was nonexistent. Centering myself was hard. Nothing I did helped my control, and I was quickly losing my mind.
The one thing I needed, to get my head on straight, was not something I’d ever ask of her. How do you ask your lover, who’d been in an abusive relationship for the past four years, to strike you with a leather strap? How could you tell her that feeling the leather kiss your skin was the best sort of therapy you’d ever received.

Break Me (Part 3)



When your world suddenly crashes around you, how do you keep from losing all control? My father, showing up in Los Angeles, was not expected. When I find out he’s dying, I do what a neglected daughter does. I run to his side, hoping for answers. The ones I find are not what I wanted to hear from the man who created me.
Kane surprised me, by being the one light in my life that was quickly falling dark. When the demons of my past suddenly appear, Kane is the one who holds it together when I need him the most.
Trying to plan a future is hard, even on the road. When the worst possible person shows back up in my life, Kane is the one to protect me. Kane is the one who will heal me. Kane is the one strong enough to fight my demons for me.

Special Projects:





Fully Loaded




His hair was dark, long, and straight, his eyes were as blue as the deepest part of the ocean, very similar to my own. The band’s bassist looked like a walking orgasm. His hair cascaded down like a black waterfall, covering most of his back. His eyes were on me, captivating me…devouring me.


Donovan Milano could have any girl he wants, but he singles me out from his spot on the stage. The talented bassist heats my body in ways that I’ve never known before now. With just one look, I find myself captured in his web of erotic desires.


I don’t see how a relationship with a rockstar can work, but Donovan doesn’t give me a chance to push him away, even though I try. Before I know what hits me, my life takes a turn for the worst and I find out that he may be hiding a secret.


When my health becomes something I can no longer ignore, will he stay by my side, or pack his things to go on to the next stop in his road to stardom?



Fully Loaded is a project with rockstar bassist, Matt DiRito. The idea behind the story is to raise money for Matt’s charity, Star Treatments.


About a year ago, Matt and Theresa came to an agreement to have Matt’s likeness to star as the main character, Donovan Milano, in the book, Fully Loaded.


Theresa has pledged 50% of the proceeds from Fully Loaded to be donated to the charity Star Treatments.

Interview with Theresa Hissong:


  1. Can     you tell us a little about your books?
I write rockstar erotic romance, mainly. My first rockstar romance series, Glory Days, was just completed a few months ago. I recently released a stand-alone book for charity. Fully Loaded is in the rockstar romance genre as well and is the product of getting my Man Crush to let me write him into a book (Oh, Yessss! Haha!)
I also dabble into the paranormal and ménage. My paranormal romance, Blood & Roses was released in 2013. The second book in that series, Blood at Stake will be out April 28th!
It Takes Two is my ménage novella. I wanted to write a M/M/F book and decided to make my characters part of the Memphis SWAT team. (Memphis is my hometown.) I had so much fun writing that one! I’m working on the second book in that series as we speak, but do not have a release date scheduled yet.



  1. Do     you have a favorite character to write about?
My favorite character so far was probably, Gabe Miller, the guitarist for Glory Days. His book was so much sweeter than the other three. All of my rockstars are total alpha males and are a tad bit dominating, but Gabe turned out to be the most romantic of them all, and I had a blast writing him. He was sexy and charming and chivalrous and…Oh! I could go on and on!



  1. Do     you have a favorite spot to write?
I have my recliner and my old lamp. I get in my little nook upstairs and just write. It’s comfortable and quiet. I can write just about anywhere, but this is my go-to place.



  1. Do     you have any “odd” writing habits?
I don’t know if my habits would be called “Odd” per say, but I do occasionally write the end of the book at about my halfway point in writing my manuscript. I generally have an idea where I want the story to go, but it seems like if I know how I want the story to end before I complete the book, and I write that end early on, my characters tend to not defy me and change their own ending. Does that make sense? Haha.



  1. Do     you listen to music while you write?
Oh, definitely! I am a music lover and it is a must that music is playing when I write. I make a playlist with songs that remind me of the story I’m writing. It’s not always the lyrics to a song that relate to the story, but sometimes just the music itself.



  1. What     is your favorite activity to do when you’re not writing?     
I love to fish! My grandfather and I were inseparable when I was a child and that was our thing. There wasn’t a time that we were not sitting on a bank at a lake or in the boat at sunrise. He was my best friend and is not here anymore to take me fishing. Now, I have passed on his love for fishing to my son. The two of us try to head out to fish at least once a week during the spring. Once summer hits and the kids are out of school, we will be on the water at least 3 times a week.



  1. When     did you know you wanted to write a book?
In 2008, my husband deployed to Iraq for a ten month TDY. It was his second tour of Iraq, and I knew I needed to do something to keep my mind off him being over there. One of my best friends mentioned that I should try to write a book, since I loved to read and had a crazy imagination.
It took about a week before I actually sat down and started writing something. I took all of my friends and made them paranormal creatures. It took me about four months to write that story. After that, I got the itch to write more. I didn’t like that first story all that much, so I decided to try something else.
I finished that paranormal romance a month before my husband got home and I sat on it…for 5 years! In 2013, and after 3 more deployments, he retired from the military. During those 5 years, I wrote on and off to keep my mind occupied. When your husband is gone for almost a year to a place that is deadlier than anything you can imagine, you find ways to keep your mind off of the ‘what-ifs’ and the news reports.
About 3 months after he retired, I released my first rockstar romance novella, Sing to Me (Book 1 in the Glory Days Production trilogy). A month after that, I polished up that paranormal romance I’d written 5 years prior and published it. Blood & Roses is the title and is available everywhere in eBook. I love that story, because it was a growing experience for me and something I accomplished when I had no idea what the heck I was doing.



  1. Do     you work with an outline, or just write?
I do not start with a formal outline. I have an idea of what I want to happen in the story and I do make notes on paper (I have notebooks for every book/series I’ve written or am writing). For me, my stories seem to be better when the characters take over and I let them tell their story.



  1. What     are writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m working on a spin-off of my Glory Days books. When I was writing that series, a secondary band, Fatal Cross kind of grabbed my attention, and I wanted to tell their story. So, this summer, the first Fatal Cross book will be available. It will be titled, Fatal Desires.
I’m also working on book 2 of the Memphis SWAT series. Its title will be, Lucky Two.
The paranormal romance series will have its 3rd and final book, Blood Moon released sometime toward the end of the year.
I’m always jotting down ideas for stories and you never know what I will write about. I say, just keep checking my Facebook and website for information.
