Just because I’ve been published, that doesn’t mean I ever stop learning the craft of writing. I didn’t have an English degree ( I went the Nursing route) so there are many things I’ve had to learn as I’ve been along the journey of writing like scene structure, proper grammar, even punctuation.

These are the 5 books that have helped me along my journey and I refer to them often, even to this day.

NAUGHTY WORDS FOR NICE WRITERS by Cara Bristol ( A Sexual and Spanking Thesaurus)

SEXY WORDS FOR WRITERS by Stefanie Olsen

ROMANCE TROPES AND HOOKS by Karen WInter

THE TROPE THESAURUS by Jennifer Hilt

SELF-EDITING FOR FICTION WRITERS by Renni Brown and Dave King

These books are dog eared, and highlighted beyond recognition, hee hee
