Writing Advice: Crafting Sex Scenes

Romance is more than sex scenes but a bad sex scene can break a book. If you are determined to have sex scenes instead of closed door scenes and you need inspiration, you might want to do what I do -- Watch porn.

You don't have to drop hundreds of dollars buying DVDs or subscriptions. There are plenty of places that have hundreds of hours of clips for free (YouTube for porn). Find an encounter

Music: We're All In The Same Gang / Self-Destruction

Dark Shadows (Comedy/Fantasy PG-13):
I hope actor Jonathan Frid got to see it before he died. Or actually, I hope he WANTED to see and got to see it before he died. I want to see it, but that's because it's Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.

Q&A: Who's Your Favorite Vampire?

There are so many vampires out there. I could say the ones I created are my favorites, but they aren't. No where close. I would have to say my favorite vampire of all time is Gary Oldman's Dracula. Gerard Butler was fun in Dracula 2000 but Gary Oldman was the MAN in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
