How to Write From a Dude's Perspective in Five Easy Steps

So, you want to write from a dude's perspective (or maybe you just want to write a more believable male character)? Great! I think we need more romance/erotica novels written from the guy's POV. But where do you start?



1. Gloss the Unnecessary Details.

Most men don't get hung up on the small details (unless they're like my boyfriend who's freakily observant), like the color of your heroine's nail polish... or the fact that her heels are designer. They're going to notice your heroine is drop-dead pretty (or not - please give me a mediocre-looking heroine); they're not going to remark on her "cherry-glossed lips." "So what?" you might be asking yourself now. So, don't include that trivial shit in your description of your heroine when you're writing from the guy's POV. Keep it simple. This doesn't mean I'm saying guys are simple. Hell, no! I'm just saying most guys aren't going to stand there and mentally describe his inevitable love interest in terms of "heart-shaped face," and "long, golden tresses," and "perky B-cup breasts" (Okay, so he might do that last one. I've known several guys who were eerily accurate at guessing cup sizes just by sight.)




Your heroine is blonde with a pretty face and maybe a nice smile. Woohoo. One sentence. Minus the bullshit details.




2. Embrace the Action.

The story's winding up to a tense moment. The killer's on the move and the hero's hot on his trail. With guns at the ready, the hero busts into the villain's hideout and... stands around fussing over the antagonist's choice of furnishings? That the drapes are musty and have holes in them?



No. No, no, no, no, no. You're not Tolkien. Don't sit there and describe the shit out of this room while there is obviously something better for your hero to be doing. Like shooting up the bad guy. You don't have to describe every little detail of every little setting in this world, especially when you're trying to keep a tense mood. So, how do you embrace the action? Gloss over the unnecessary details. And stick to shorter sentences. Rushed sentences feel, well, rushed. And when your hero's running towards the climax of the story, feeling a little rushed isn't a bad thing.



Your hero busts through the door into a room cluttered with mismatched furniture. He stalks across a concrete floor towards the basement where he knows the goons have stashed his fiancee. Simple, direct, and to the point.




Some women often make ridiculous jumps in logic. Admit it. You've done it. Hell, I've done it. Men don't usually do it. They say what they mean and they mean what they say. No vague hints. No need to read between the lines. So, when your heroine says, "I'm going to visit my mom," your hero is going to think... she's going to visit her mom! He's probably not going to stand there thinking, "Oh, no, she's going to visit her mom because of that thing I said two weeks ago. She's probably still mad about that and wants time away from me!"




Uh-huh.




Once again, I'm not suggesting that guys are simple. They're not. And not all guys think or act the same. I'm speaking in general terms here. Your hero's (probably) not going to be thinking in terms of what was left unsaid as opposed to what was said. Get used to it.




4. Guys Like Snuggles, Too.

I actually wrote a whole blog post about this a while back, but it's true (and it bears repeating): Guys like snuggles, too. Just because your hero has a dick doesn't mean he's a senseless, heartless horny bastard who only wants to get his rocks off. Most guys are going to want to know their partner is enjoying themselves, too. And most guys are far more affectionate than they might show at first. They're going to want to be held afterwards. They're going to enjoying kissing and nuzzling and showing their lady just how much they care for them.



Hell, sometimes I wonder how I manage to get anything done because my boyfriend is always trying to curl up on top of me while I'm trying to write (image a labrador retriever thinking it's a lap dog and crawling in your lap. Yeah...) But it's fucking precious, so I let him get away with it. And I love snuggling with him. Let your hero be affectionate, too. Just because he's a "bad boy" doesn't mean he doesn't like to get caresses and kisses.



5. Drop the Frilly Euphemisms.

It's a dick. Or a cock. Or a penis.




That's it.



It's all well and good for your heroine to refer to it as something else (insert stupid euphemism here), but your hero is not going to refer to his dick as a rod, fuck stick, man meat, crotch rocket, johnson, or lady killer (or whatever) in a serious situation. Sure, I've known some guys who have actually named their penises ("I call him Napoleon, because he divides and conquers!"), but it really just depends on the guy in question. My boyfriend only named his as a joke. So, I guess if you want to be funny, the hero can name his cock.



Or not.

Six Sentence Sunday #15: Meet Daniel Webb!


Welcome back to the blog! I've decided to start a series of SSS entries that will eventually introduce you to all the main characters in my recent paranormal erotic romance release, Reborn , and this week is dedicated to Daniel Webb - the main character and star of the series!









I didn't remember standing. 


Towering over my brother, something suddenly surged within me, leaving a bitterness at the back of my throat. Like a dark heat, the strange sensation raced across my skin – a sensation I didn't have time to question. 


The anger sparking within my belly mirrored on Mark's face and I clenched my teeth against the collection of profanities piled on my tongue. He was baiting me and I couldn't afford a falling out. 


Without Mark's couch to crash on, I would have nowhere left to go but out on the street.



Be sure to stop by again next week to meet the love interest, Alyssa Vega! And don't forget to check out more awesome SSS posts. Want to know more about Reborn ? Click here to see a blurb and to enter to win a free copy!

Welcome to the Release Party for Reborn!

Reborn, Book One of the One Powerful Addiction Series










Buy @ All Romance E-Books

Smashwords


Meet Daniel Webb. Daniel isn't your average romance hero. He's not an alpha male. He's not even a beta male (or whatever in the Hell they're calling it these days.) He's just a dude. A pretty average dude, actually, living in the backwoods, little town of Stone Hills, Arkansas ... except for the fact that he was just cursed with supernatural powers. Badass supernatural powers that he can't exactly control. (Oh, and they're addicting.)




But Daniel's life is about to get a whole lot more interesting (as if having addictive supernatural powers raging out of control isn't interesting enough) when the sexy and mysterious Alyssa Vega comes blazing into his life for a one night of no-strings-attached fun. At first, it seems like Alyssa is just the spot of normalcy Daniel needs in his crazy out-of-control life right now. Until it turns out Alyssa is a far cry from normal, too.




Fuck.




Power. Sex. And a whole lot of swearing. This isn't your grandmother's romance.






----------------------------------------------------

3 Things to Never Say When a Guy Takes Off His Pants

Hey, guys! It's been a little while, but I'm back with a vengeance. As you can see from the bright red text in the right sidebar, I'll be updating the blog every Wednesday and Sunday now. Yay! I can feel your excitement from here. Or maybe that's just all the sugar I've recently ingested? Either way, I think it's about time we got down to business.





3 Things to Never Say When a Guy Takes Off His Pants




1. "Oh, that's interesting ..."

Now ladies, I'm speaking from experience here. Men just do not like this phrase. If you intend to use this phrase, then you should proceed with caution. Make sure he's aware you're checking out that new tattoo he just got on his thigh (and not his perfectly groomed and shaped pubic hair which just happens to vaguely resemble the Virgin Mary). Men are sensitive creatures when it comes to the word "interesting" being used to describe their dicks. I can't see why ...




My vagina is pretty damn interesting, if you ask me.



Is it just me or is his "rocket
launcher" trying to wrap around
his hip?






2. "Is it chilly in here?"

Now, shrinkage is no laughing matter. And neither are tiny dicks. Dude can't help it if he's not packing a rocket launcher in his pants. Besides, it's not the size of the rocket, but the amount of C4 you managed to stuff into it, right? Right? Uh, er, okay, so maybe you don't stuff C4 into rockets (I don't think, anyway), but, yeah. You can catch my drift.




3. "Beef. It's what's for dinner."

Because that's just damn creepy. Unless he likes creepy. Or he's a cannibal. Or he just really likes beef.




Moo.

---------------------------------------

No men were (permanently) harmed in the making of this blog post. This blog post was written in collaboration with the infamous Boyfriend. Rejected phrases include:




"On second thought, I'd rather watch that movie."

"I just remembered ... I'm vegan."

"I never knew you were Jewish!"

It's Okay. Really. Men Can Like Snuggles, Too.

Six Sentence Sunday #14: A Sneak Peek at Reborn!


Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone! In honor of Mother's Day and the upcoming release of Reborn, the first book in my One Powerful Addiction series, I bring to you these six naughty sentences to start your day off right!




















Her lips parted for me and I took the invitation, slipping my tongue past her lips and into the warmth of her mouth where it moved alongside hers in an unapologetically hungry dance. She moaned into my mouth as she arched her body into mine and fuck, but I needed her. I moved both my hands to her hips, hauling her closer to the edge of the stool and as I did, her legs fully wrapped around my body. 


The feel of her was intoxicating, the warmth of her burned through my clothing, and as her teeth wrapped around my bottom lip with a light suck and bite, I pushed what doubts lingered in the head on my shoulders to the back of my mind. Fuck logic; Fuck reason. And fuck that nagging voice at the edge of my consciousness that kept worrying - that kept fixating on the brief tastes of familiarity radiating off Alyssa.






Want more? Reborn releases this upcoming Thursday, May 17th, on Amazon, Smashwords, and All Romance Ebooks. Want more now? RSVP to the release party on Facebook for your chance to win a free copy of the book or check out the official blurb and excerpt here! Happy Mother's Day! And don't forget to check out more SSS!

Guest Blog: Lucy Felthouse - I Write Romance, Too!




Ever since I started writing for
publication, I've thought of myself as more of an erotic writer.
However, when I recently sat down and looked at my publications and
the genres they fall into, I thought – hey, I write plenty of
romance, too!





So that's what I'd like to talk about
today on this super blog. Erotic romance in all its different guises.
I say different because of course no two stories are ever the same,
and this is particularly true of the six releases I'm going to
mention.




Why? Take a look for yourself:




Bite
with Height
is a lesbian paranormal erotic romance
set in Paris, the perfect place for vampires to live ;)




Succubus
Comes Home
is a m/f paranormal erotic romance with
succubae and incubi.




Loose
Ends
is a m/f contemporary erotic romance about a
passionate reunion.




Love
Through Time
is a m/f paranormal erotic romance
set in a stately home with lots of links with the past.




Susie
White and the Right Hand Man
is a m/f contemporary
fairy tale – a retelling of Snow White and the Huntsman.




The
Cottage in the Woods
is a lesbian paranormal
erotic romance set... yes, you've guessed it, in a cottage in the
woods with shapeshifters abound.




A glance at my upcoming releases
reveals more romance, not least my first ever novella, called Off
the Shelf
, which will appear next month in the Silk
Stockings
anthology from Xcite Books. This is one
of my favourite stories, about a travel writer and a bookseller.
They're attracted to one another, but Annalise is terrified of
rejection, and Damien is very shy – will they get it on, or are
they doomed to remain on the shelf?





I guess that the more I write, the more
I'm exploring different storylines and methods of writing, and I'm
finding myself drawn to longer pieces with more complex plots. This
in itself lends to romance more, because who wants to read an 80,000
word novel that is literally back-to-back sex scenes, with no actual
plot? There's got to be something holding the sex together, and
giving a reason for it. And what better reason than love?

Derby, where she studied Creative Writing. During her first year, she

Ana's Birthday Bash Day 5: Partying with Vampirique Dezire and Cassandre Dayne (again!)

Good morning, everyone! Guess what? Today is the last day of the Birthday Bash! (Awwww .... I know. You're all devastated). So that means today is the last day to get your name in there for the two grand prizes - either a $23 Amazon gift card or a year's subscription to Writer's Digest - and the last day to score some free e-books!



Today we're partying with my good friend, the fabulous Vampirique Dezire and we're also going to have Cassandre Dayne's e-book His Wrath up for grabs again today since we didn't have enough commenters the other day to give her book away (oh the horror!

Hello---Ana?
Where are you hiding my mouth watering piece of female flesh?






Hmm I can see lots of balloons and

Oh look there is a bar over in the
corner. *Gives bartender an order for a goblet of B negative and
cinnamon.*
(You know me! I always have some source of alcoholic beverages - and sexy bartenders - close at hand!)




Anyway, while I'm waiting for my
drink, I had best introduce myself. My name is Vampirique Dezire, I
write erotica for a living. Well okay not for a living as I have only
had two stories published but it does sound good to say it though and
I am thrilled to bits to here with you all, celebrating Ana's 23rd
Birthday. I honestly can't even remember what it was like to be 23
*laughs softly*






Now
I have brought with me today a prize for one of you lucky people who
leave a comment at the bottom. Actually, if you would please say
Happy Birthday Ana, then leave your email address that would be
excellent.





What have you got, I can hear you all
murmuring, expectancy clearly visible on your faces. I have none
other than Spontaneous Liaisons, an anthology through Naughty Nights
Press.
I am sure you will enjoy reading six sexy stories by six,
wicked temptresses and me! *laughs*

Contributors List





A Little Knowledge by CJ Black

A woman sitting alone at a bar, angry
about her life and how it was turning out, just needed a little
something different and sexy to change her view of things even if for
only one night. Drew, a young bartender, intends to give her a few
lessons of his own.




Reinventing the Quickie, The
Diary of Sam by Kiki Howell


Samantha Donovan writes in her diary
when she can, and this year's new book she is starting by
discussing New Year's Resolutions: her failures with them in the
past and what she wants this year as a working mom with teenagers in
the house. She decides it would be great to combine a few of things,
like weight loss and more sex, by offering her husband an arrangement
of quickies in their busy lives, sort of a sex diet she once read
about. Of course her hubby is all for the idea, but with their crazy
schedules, it proves harder than they thought. So, they get more
creative, use their time more wisely, and even kick up the quickies
with little themes. By the end of January, things are suddenly
getting sexier and sexier in Samantha's life…




Summer Rain, Fiona's Story By
Vampirique Dezire


It is believed that when the winds have
blown the earth dry and the sun creates an internal heat, deep within
its core, that a rainstorm will come, one like nobody has seen
before. During the last of summer's hot, fiery kiss, the rain will
sluice over the earth's body, making love to it, allowing the heat
of pent up sexual tensions to be released by those who are caught in
it.




It is the last days of summer and Fiona
has organized to meet up with Jake, a guy she met at a nightclub.
Needless to say, Fiona's date doesn't arrive but she gets plenty
of admiring glances from the men and women around her. After waiting
a period of time, Fiona decides to leave the restaurant and begins to
take a walk down the street refusing to let her day be ruined.




During a sudden downpour, Fiona seeks
shelter on a building site. Unbeknownst to her, Brant one of the
builders waiting out the storm sees her taking off her wet clothes.
As he watches her, he notices a beam about to give way just above
her. Before it collapses on top of her Brant rushes in to save her,
suddenly the two strangers find themselves in the midst of making
hard, passionate love...their lust and desire taking over their very
beings.




Blind Date by Jennifer Stone

Expecting to be disappointed by her
blind date before it even starts, Lindsey quickly finds out that he
is romantic and full of passion not to mention oozing with sexuality
and the urge to be naughty. The raw intensity of their first
encounter sends shocks through both of them; awakening a passion that
they never knew they were capable of having.




Fast Food On Campus by Abby Hayes

Friends, working together on campus,
come together, finally, hot and fast, several times, after confessing
their feelings about each other. A quickie on the freezer at work,
groping during the car ride home, just inside the front door of his
place, are just a few of the sexy yet quick encounters Devin and
Amanda have. Promises of longer, of tomorrows are still whispered
though…




Unprofessional
by CM Owen


When
an actress fails to turn up for her part in a sex scene, Carrie has
to choose between stepping into the spotlight or letting her friends
down. But, she's not an actress; her place is behind the camera,
not in front of it. Can she keep it cool with actor Jake or will
things get unprofessional?

Ana Hart's Birthday Bash Day 2: Partying With Kiki Howell and Gemma Parkes

Hello and welcome back to the Birthday Bash! Are you guys all enjoying it so far? Don't forget to check out our party playlist to the right (which I will be updating over the course of the day today to add more awesome party music!) And don't forget that every day you comment is another time your name is put into the drawing for the grand prize - either a $23 Amazon gift card or a year subscription to Writer's Digest.




Today we're partying with two more of my favorite girlfriends, the wickedly mystical Kiki Howell and the oh-so-naughty Gemma Parkes! Woohoo! Thanks for stopping by, ladies :-)



So what do we have up for grabs today? Check them out (click-y for the blurbs!):















Leave a comment below with your email address (so we can contact you if you win!), which e-book you would prefer to win (if you have a preference), and your answer to the following question: What is your favorite party drink? (Personally, I'm a fan of jello shots. I'm also infamous in my social circle for being the "Jello Shot Queen" because I made 200+ one time for a party).




Thanks for stopping by! This giveaway will run until midnight CST! And remember, even if you don't win today, you're still in the running for one of the grand prizes! And we have three more days of giveaways coming up!

Upcoming Release, March 2012 - At War In the Willows Book 1, The Vampire's Witch




The Willows is a resort town run by vampires, werewolves and witches. Here, their true identities are kept secret from humans, and intimate relations between the individual clans are strictly forbidden.








When it becomes known that the vampire Amberlyn has fallen in love with the werewolf Kane, the tedious line of their co-existence has been crossed. Caught in the crossfire of this revelation, Drake, the vampire clan leader and Amberlyn's maker, is killed along with an innocent witch. These deaths spark a series of horrific events leading to an all out War In The Willows.








In Book 1, Amberlyn's vampire brother, Isaac, always one to kick ass first and deal with the consequences later, kidnaps a witch, Winter. He intends to find out what type of retaliation the witch clan is planning against the vampires and werewolves. In doing so, he finds so much more then he bargained for.

This book is intended for adults only and contains strong language and explicit sex.
