Letter From Writer:

Hi, My Buff Lovers!

I can’t believe that it’s really happening, I have all of you to thank for this. When A fan once asked me to publish these stories I thought to myself and said, No. But, after all of these issues with other writers stealing my content I made the choice to take the time and edit every story to the best of my ability.

I once started writing in March of 2017 as a hobby, it was something to just help me cope with my Anxiety and OCD. Little did I know it would become something bigger than me. It gave me a platform to share my own personal insecurities and struggles by creating characters people could relate to. But, most of all, putting my diary into stories. That was the hard part, but with each story, it gets better.

I’m very thankful for each and every one of you for all of your LOVE and SUPPORT since my very first story. I believe that everything happens for a reason, the ups and downs over the past year has helped me grow and learn so much more about myself. You’ve all been here from the very first story, watching me grow and supporting me to open up more.

I just wanted to say that I LOVE each and every one of you, this series is about the Mafia but with a twist. Many plot changes, Emotional Rollercoasters, and Happy Endings. I hope you all enjoy the stories that roll around in my crazy brain.

Love Always, A'oleon

“Challenge your mind, Push the limits and trust your heart. Writing is not as hard as some may think, put your own life into every story or just one story. You have your very own masterpiece, people will judge you, criticize you and love you. But, it’s your truth” - Elizabeth

She started writing on a platform for those with an idea, it became more than she could handle. But, something great came out of it, she was able to express herself while giving those without a voice the power they needed to feel free. We asked for all of your questions and here are the answers.

Q. What made you want to write your own story?

I was reading so many stories on the platform that I was on and everything became the same after a while. There were 4 really great writers on there but after I read all of their stories I felt as though I was reading the same thing over and over again. One night I thought about a story that I always thought I lived in! I really thought about my life and said to myself that I was going to write one story and that would be it. I realized that if you want a certain kind of book then you have to write it yourself.

Q. While writing this first story, what did you think about your own style of writing? And, would you change anything looking back?

I thought that it was very Mafia, very based on Crime and Lust but I tried to make this story mostly about a man who’s going through the secret of being with a woman he shouldn’t be with while falling in love with a woman who he can’t give his all to. I loved my style of writing, I love it even more now. Looking back I wouldn’t change anything, I always tell people that when writing your very first story to give it everything you have, don’t question it just write it. Edit later!

Q. What made you decide to create a Series behind one big family?

I always wanted that large family, I grew up in a very broken home. I didn’t have the siblings that I wanted or needed, I didn’t have those cousins or even a family at all that was very close to one another. That inspired me a lot, I put my own life in the first book as many people who know me can see. The third story is really personal to me because I really love her and what she’s been through. But I love how he knows there is something wrong but doesn’t give up on her either.

Q. What made you choose the Mafia storyline?

I like Crime and Excitement, I love the Mafia and I love the power that comes with the lifestyle. I wish I was in it, at least this one.

Q. One thing that comes to mind when most people read your stories are the Men. Mostly the MEN, where did the word “Buffness” come from?

[ Laughs ] I really love the image of a man that looks like the men in my books. There are men like that in real life which I love, as for their mindset? Well, that’s debatable. But, I really love muscular men. The ones who look like their normal, some may come after me for that but, a lot of men look bad and I don’t know if they’re on something or not but I like the thickly built men with large arms and thick lips with facial hair. That word is my favorite, I really love it and it’s not very common. I hear people call men, “Hunk” instead of “Buffness” But I love this word better, the same thing when it comes to describing the name of someone's private parts, I don’t like the “C” word on either gender, I think it’s weird… That’s just me. Some women tell me that they wish to meet the men in my stories, I do too!

Q. All of your Female Characters are, Virgins. What made you decide to do that? Opposed to giving it a balance of both Virgin and Non-Virgins?

Growing up in school I heard so many girls talk about having sex, at that time we’re only in 8th grade, we’re 13 or 14 and so many of you are having sex? I’m not ready yet but I was bullied for that. In High School it was worse, I had to lie in order to fit in because I was sick of being picked on for something I wasn’t ready for yet. I really wanted someone to speak up for Virgins and nobody was doing it. A senior told me that I was a Virgin because nobody wanted me, that really hurt my feelings but I just kept walking.

I met only one man who embraced that with me when I wanted to be with him. He told me to wait because it was so special. I respected him so much for that, at the time I was 22 and he was 26. Long story short, I felt bad up until that first book. I said, “You know what? I’m going to embrace this, I always wanted someone to write stories for us, write stories that we can all relate to in many ways. But, I’m going to make the man? A man who loves that side of her” I make them all a Virgin because there is never just one type of Virgin, there are MANY kinds. People like to criticize us, People like to laugh at us for not having sex yet. Women joke about it, they use that word to make someone feel bad. Men laugh and say that something is wrong with us because we haven’t had sex, I’ll be damned!

I hate a VIRGIN shamer! I have no problem standing up for ANYBODY who is being bullied for their decision to wait until THEY are ready on their TERMS! I see so many younger girls that comment on other stories saying that they can’t stand her being a Virgin, I’ve had so much hate for making every woman a Virgin. But, if you don’t read it then don’t degrade my stories because once you read it? You’ll fall in love with it then regret everything you said.

Q. Would you say that your stories are Love stories?

It depends on which story, not every story is a love story. But, in the end, they may end up together with a happy ending. Some stories are very controversial because of what happens.

Q. What is the craziest comment you’ve ever read in your comment section?

That would be a woman who came on my Marine story and told me that babies don’t suck their thumbs after they’re born. When I tell you that I went back and forth with this crazy person, I went back and forth. I regret ever doing it but it showed me that people are plain stupid for thinking that just because they haven’t seen it, that it can’t happen .But, I thank her because that’s when I found out that someone had stolen a story from me, so, thank you!

Q. What’s the sweetest comment you’ve ever seen in your comment section?

When I made the Book, “Virgin” Women and Girls told me how much they appreciated that story. The real struggle of a story focused mostly on a woman dealing with being a Virgin. Some of them told me that they now feel better about being a Virgin. I informed those that would read my story that I am a Virgin and I’m not bashing women who have sex. I hate how people think that. I don’t know why because I don’t do that in my stories. If I did that? That would be so stupid because there is sex in every story of mine. Every Virgin in my books is not a Virgin by the end of the story.

Q. Do you ever get Writer's Block? If so, how do you deal with it?

I have before but it’s not something I get a lot, I think out of 100 books I’ve had that maybe three times. I have so many ideas in my head that I can’t get a block. But, I will say that if you’re writing about something that’s not really who you are? Then you might come across having a block at some point.

Q. How do you feel about Age-Gaps in stories?

I don’t have a problem with them as long as they’re grown and it’s not made to seem sick. At least make the female or male at least 21 years old when they start having sexual relations with older men and women. So many girls today think that it’s cute and such a great thing to be 17 with a man who’s 35 years old. I think that’s disgusting and stupid to even glorify that type of storyline. What do you want from that other than sex? Worry about your future and mental health, males will always be there. I also don't mind if they’re grown and not trying to create a story where someone is cheating. I have yet to see a story where there isn’t any and that gets on my nerves. I have an age-gap in every story, but I will not make the males want them only because they’re young, I hate sick stuff in books. Neither of them has any idea about each other until they see each other, which I like.

Q. What is something you like most about your Female Characters?

I love that they’re strong, powerful and very educated. I love that they have something going for themselves and they don’t settle for just anything. I don’t like how these books make the female characters poor and in need for a man to take care of them, Uh No.

Q. Do you want to ever get married, and why?

No, I don’t want to get married. I just don’t see that for me and I actually like it to be honest. I work so much and I’m married to my Career, I love doing what I’m doing. Many reasons, but the biggest one? I just don’t want too, [ Laughs ]

Q. Do you want children one day?

No, I don’t want children either [ Laughs ] I really don’t want that life. My fans will always joke with me about being like Dominick but I really won’t ever get married or have kids and I’m happy this way.

Q. Do you have a boyfriend?

[ Laughs ] No, I don’t… Not anymore, he cheated and that’s that. But he’s not Buff anymore so, I WIN! [ Laughs ]

Q. How do you deal with your Anxiety?

I won’t lie, I do take medication for my Anxiety. I have to now because I had an Anxiety attack right before I came over to SWEEK. That was the first time I ever had one and now I need medication to help me deal with it. I suffer from OCD and PTSD which makes everything worse, I’m a very closed off person because I like the peace that comes with it. I don’t like going out to bars and all that stuff. I just like being to myself or with my friends. I downloaded the App, Calm and that is very helpful. I love Pacifica as well, they’re both very helpful for me

Q. Do you have any advice for those who suffer from this type of illness?

Find ways to help you, if that’s medication? Take it, if it’s being alone for a little while? Do it. Anything to help you deal with this? Do it, you deserve to feel peace.

Q. A lot of your fans are young, what do you think about them reading your stories?

90% of my fan base is 21 to 40. Some are even older, I don’t have many young fans. The ones that I do have, have reached out to me and I’m shocked at how they just read it because of the Virgin part of it. They don’t care if the guy is older or not, they just tell me that they’re glad that I write about Virgins because it gives them hope. I want everyone to find true love and honest love. But, I normally get tons of people telling me how happy they are that I don’t make the women weak and in need of a man. I’m glad that they have that mindset, follow your dreams. Males will always be there.

Q. A lot of your Female Characters have Gay, Best Friends. How do you truly feel about Same-Sex couples etc?

I do, I love that they all have their own kinds of friends. The last half of my series will showcase a lot more things that I think people will enjoy. One of my besties is Gay, I love him and he’s always been there for me. Jordan, a guy I grew up with was also gay. He passed away a while back, a few weeks before my sister and he was like the sister, brother and best friend I never had all in one. I honestly feel that people can do whatever they want, if they want someone of the same sex, then that’s their business. I would be pissed if someone told me that I couldn’t be with buffness [ Laughs], but I think that as long as you’re not hurting yourself or another person then do as you want. Someone I’m close too is a Lesbian and she’s a really sweet girl, I’m very thankful for her.

Q. Would you ever make a Lesbian or Gay love story?

I’ve actually been asked by a fan if I would do that, I can’t give anything away… Sorry

Q. What’s your favorite Food?

Savory foods are my life, I love it. I like eating as healthy as possible…. if I can. Sometimes I want something bad [ Laughs ]

Q. You write a lot about Police Officers and Marines, do you think that it’s making things better with everything going on right now?

I love buffness of any profession [ Laughs ] I have a crush on Buff Police Officers, Marines are my love. I love them so much for many reasons, I watch Marine videos on Youtube all the time and one of them really inspired me when I was doubting myself about writing. He said that he didn’t want to be someone who looked back and regretted not becoming a Marine. That made me think about what I’m doing, If I wouldn’t have started writing like this and another person did what I’m doing, I would be upset because I didn’t do it when I should’ve. I’ll always remember him even though he doesn’t know me. I’ll always be thankful for his words.

As for Police Officers? I respect them for what they do, one of my cousins is on the SWAT team, I have many Marines in my family. That didn’t inspire me to write about them but I respect both of them for what they do. I’ll never stop writing about either of them, I enjoy it and I hope that others can appreciate them as well. There are so many things being said about Police Officers in this country because of a few bad ones. But, I’ve never had a bad experience with one before. Just because I haven’t doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen, there are cases that made me angry. I just hope that the good ones speak up more because that’s what a lot of people have asked for. No, I’ve never been with one before.

Q. What is your biggest goal when it comes to writing?

I don’t really have a goal, I just write my Diary Entries into stories. Book 200, is my last and I won’t be coming back out with anything new. Some have asked for me to keep writing even once I get married because they want to see what my life is like. I’m flattered but I don’t see that happening.

Q. Many people have taken your stories, how does that feel when it happens and how do you deal with it?

The first time it happened I was shocked but I just laughed because I didn’t even think they were that good to begin with. A fan told me and also went after this person with other people, that caused the girl to delete her account before I could even see anything. I did get screenshots, though. The second and third time it happened I wasn’t online, so I missed it. I hate missing this stuff, it’s good! But, I can’t report something that’s not there. As for the, I think 6th time? I was very upset, I couldn’t enjoy myself anymore on that app. I was doing this to help myself with my own reality of living with Anxiety and OCD. It was so much fun when I first started but then it became a job. I felt like it wasn’t the same and all of the joy was gone. Even today, I’m still dealing with the struggle of finding my way back to happiness.

A young girl took my Buff Trainer story and put it into a SMUT book. At first, I didn’t even know what that was [ Laughs ], but I found out that day. Then I had an issue with another young girl whose story was just like the first four stories I ever did. That was a lot more intense than the last one. I had enough at that point, we did talk about the stories and how everything was the same but, we came to an argument. We made statements for everyone to know, but As of right now? It’s a long story which is why I’ll just put it in a book. How do I deal with it? To be honest? I don’t, I get really bad Anxiety and it triggers my OCD. Now, I’m paranoid and constantly feeling sick because I think that every time my phone goes off it’s going to be someone telling me about someone taking my content. I’m actually sick of these DMCA reports.

Q. Which story is your favorite?

That’s hard, I love the Blind Marine, Obsessed with the State Trooper, The Attorney, which I think is underrated. A Virgin Love Story, Wrong Turn… I just like the characters the most. But, I really love my first book because of their love.

Q. Who is your favorite Character?

I LOVE Metal. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Him, [ Laughs ]. I really love Iron. He’s my dream man, If I ever met a man like him then I would say yes! I love every Female Character, though.

Q. Do you talk to your fans?

Yes, I talk to them all the time. I never really called them fans until they called themselves that. But, we have a great relationship. I’m always here for them to talk too, I will always give them my honest opinion and I don’t hold back. I want them to be the best they can be.

Q. What’s your biggest regret?

I don’t have any when it comes to my books, in life? I actually don’t have any either. I just learn or grow, never regret.

Q. Does your family know about your books?

No, [ Laughs ] Well, my Father and my Aunt know but they’ve never read them and I don't want them too. I don’t even want my friends reading them, I don’t know… I just don’t

Q. What can we look forward to in the second and last part of the series?

Umm, Love stories and more drama. I have a lot to say because so many things have happened recently.

Q. You write about sexual assault and abuse in many stories, how do you deal with the feedback?

My stories are real, I don’t sugarcoat anything but I also won’t glorify it either. The victims deal with it the way they do because we’re all different. I’ve never had someone try and degrade my stories, at least not those who mattered. My stories are my truth, some may like them and some may not. They’re not for everyone, because not everyone is like me. I try to shine a light on how we feel, what we’re thinking and how we deal with being abused. Many people won’t understand it and that’s okay, but don’t ever leave a Victim shaming comment on my stories. I don’t react well to that and if you ever liked me before, you won’t like me afterward.

Q. How do you deal with haters?

Well, I’ve never really had any. Almost every comment has been supportive and positive. I don’t have a problem with people disliking a character because I created them a certain way. If anything I’ve only had one person voice their hate about my writing, but that came from someone who copied. [ Laughs ] so, she really doesn’t matter. Other than that? I don’t get any hate or jealousy.

Q. What’s your biggest accomplishment so far?

Making it to Barnes and Noble. I’ll always be thankful for that, I never thought I’d make it here and for that? I’ll always remain humble. I have my fans to thank for making me so big. The attention, views, and popularity for writing the way I did, made me who I am today.

Q. Do you think you’ll ever become famous for your books?

I hope not, I just want to put out the rest of my stories and continue on with my normal life.

Q. Have you ever had to deal with broken friendships like in your stories?

I have, it’s not a great feeling. But, something I like about myself is that I’m always honest and true to myself and those around me. I always say that if something happens and they’re no longer your friends then it was for the best. Move on and be happy, you deserve it.

Q. What advice do you have for younger girls who read your stories, and do you ever think about your book influence?

My advice would be to stay true to yourself no matter what happens, we all have to deal with the pressure from those around us. But, it’s okay to be different, it’s okay to love what you love and to do things at your own time. Always remember that boys will always be around, you don’t have to rush to do anything you’re not comfortable doing. Put your dreams FRIST, put your morals and your dignity first and you’ll make it far in life. No matter what you’ve been through you can always overcome it! To take your time when doing anything. What’s meant for you will come when that time is right, you can’t rush it.

Education and Career goals should be your number one priority. Not everyone wants to go to college which is fine, that’s your choice. But, never feel that you have to depend on a man for anything! Follow your heart and you’ll never regret anything, your heart knows the truth even if you don’t.

I want anyone who reads my stories to love themselves FIRST! People will always judge you, so do what you love to do. Don’t ever settle for less than you deserve, set your standards HIGH and don’t even think about lowering them to fit in. Younger girls do read my stories, I’m surprised how they will tell me how the Virgin experiences in my stories inspire them to wait until they’re ready. Even with sexual content, they see the real and true picture which is humbling.

I always think about what people may think about some things that happen in my books, that’s because I went through it and I don’t want people to just assume someone they’re not sure about. Mostly anything that relates to sexual assault, I live my life differently than someone who’s never been abused. The things I write about are much different than most because they haven’t lived my life. A lot of my stories are Erotic which means you shouldn’t take them too seriously, but a lot of those scenes and characters are relatable.

I just want every fan of mine to love themselves always no matter what. It’s taken me a very long time to feel confident about myself and to open up. I believe that things will happen when they’re supposed to.
