A New Venture...

This is my first post on my goodreads blog, and I must say, I'm excited.

A published fantasy author, I am venturing forth into the world of the Romance Novelist, and I can't wait to get started.

My first romantic tale, Written, was published this month, and I'd love if it you had a quick peek at it. (The link is listed below for you.)

I hope to deal with my experiences and what I have learned while writing this blog, in the hope that it will make me a better writer, and that I can get to know some of you lovely people out there...

So, what did I learn about myself when writing this piece of work? Many things, but the first thing to deal with is probably sex...

With this story, I found myself dealing with sex for the first time. I know what you're thinking, a literary sexual virgin? Yes, I have to admit that it is something I have always avoided in my other work. It hasn't felt necessary. So, I decided to throw away my prudery and have some sex scenes in the book (don't panic, it's not erotica), but for me, it was pretty steamy.

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself once I got started, and the cut and thrust of a hot and steamy scene came a lot easier to me than I thought it would. Hopefully I managed to capture the heat between my characters without being gratuitously raunchy.

I actually dealt with this very issue in the story itself, as the main character is actually writing her first love scenes herself. Hers are a bit more bodice ripping than those she experiences with her own lover, but clothes are torn asunder...

Let me know what you think!
Till next week,
Keep Reading!
