On the eve of the launch of Power Play, the second story in the Sapphire Angel series, it is time for me to discuss an issue I’ve always struggled with — violence when the main character is a woman. If you read the first Sapphire Angel story, you know there are some violent scenes in the book, and that the protagonist is on the giving and receiving end of the violence. I wouldn’t consider these scenes sexual in any way, but they are violent.
I don't think that you are including anything inappropriate. But the thing you do well is not to add gratuitous violence. This plugs a lot of media elements today. So, I don't think you need ask yourself if "it is too much". I don't think it is. I think it is always just enough. And the devleopment of your character in the contest of a "real person", is very good. I've always wondered what goes through the mind of "heroes", as they discover themselves and accept the mantle of who they've become. Keep exploring, keep writing. If you have a Patreon, plus let us know. Best regards!
