I’ve only read one bodice ripper ever. And that was back in high school. I can’t remember the author or the title, but I do remember LOTS of sex in it. Detailed scenes of members journeying into budding love sheaths.
From what I can remember, the plot had lots drama. A strong-willed, yet delicate heroine forced [...]
A few days ago, my husband and I watched a movie called Born To Run. It stars Richard Grieco (remember him from 21 Jump Street) And some other familiar faces. The movie featured fast cars, a ruthless bad guy and a romance.
I was digging the relationship between the hero and heroine until the hero tells [...]
A few months back, I toyed with the idea of using a secondary character to continue the series I’m working on. I was going to take the current heroine’s nemesis from book 1 and transition her into a ex-nemesis, now friend and eventually business partner.

So in honor of Dr. King’s great legacy, I have tweaked a few lines [...]
I’m a sucker for happy endings. I love seeing characters I’ve watched fall in love in spite or because of various obstacles end up together. I like to walk away from a movie (book) believing the characters went on to have a slap happy life full of love and other good things.
But the stories that [...]
During the second leg of my writing journey, I used to get slammed a lot for not including enough description in my stories. Back then I was skimpy on the description. White walls, bare floor, and maybe a piece of furniture skimpy. I write more description into my stories now, but still not a whole [...]
First, thanks to The Tales Crew for this opportunity.
I don’t think I would be the kind of writer I am today, if it wasn’t for all the hours I spent in front of the television. When other future writers my age were reading books, I was parked in front of the tv watching whatever [...]
