What do you think is the most romantic line(s) you've ever written? I know we will each have our own opinion about this but I'm always interested in hearing an author's opinion of her own work.

That's a really tough question!
Not least because I've written enough books that I've forgotten a lot of those final, romantic scenes.
I would probably turn to the Adrien English books. I think the "fucking worship you" line is a good one--I think that's in Dark Tide? -- and also there are lines in Death of a Pirate King...
And for once I had nothing to say. Jake’s mouth found mine, his lips molding hot and soft to my own. His tongue tentatively tested the seal of my lips; I parted them and he pushed inside. It was startlingly sweet and achingly familiar, like finding harbor. Like I had been waiting decades for this, traveling leagues, Odysseus sailing at long last into the blue crystal waters of Ithaca -- and never considering the trouble ahead.
I think that's some decent writing.

Hi Josh. Hope this finds you fantastically. All your stories- that I've read- where paranormal or supernatural characters were involved were novellas or short stories. (I'm not sure where Mummy Dearest falls)... Will you be having a paranormal themed full novel? (Did I phase that correctly?)
