Behind The Scenes of The Heels Made Me

.

When writing this story, KJ used her experiences from previous homecomings with her own husband to fill in the actual landscape of the scenes. No, not the actual physical intimacy. But the place where they meet up, the sounds, the feelings. The way the buildings were arranged, how the busses pulled in. All taken from previous experiences.

.

The actual idea behind the high heels, and therefore the story as it unraveled in KJ’s mind, came from the news itself. A woman was photographed wearing sexy pink heels to her husband’s homecoming, and it started a firestorm of controversy. Some thought it was a sweet way to show a wife’s excitement for a long-awaited moment. Others thought it was over-sexualized and made military spouses into sex symbols. Whichever side of the coin you end up on, the story sparked something for KJ about a wife’s happy homecoming.

.

The Heels Made Me is one of five military-themed Dirty Bits. Each story follows the story of a couple (or more!) in one of the five branches of the military. Check out her other Dirty Bits as they debut.
