What is the sexuality level of your books on a multi-level scale from clean romance (none to there but off screen behind closed doors with no description) on the lowest end of the scale to all the way to erotica (extremely descriptive and detailed) on the highest end of the scale? Somewhere in between?
Penny Reid
Hey Kim,
Are you familiar with a Likert scale? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likert_s...) Since I am a scientist, I feel it's appropriate to answer this question using a Likert scale (where the question is: "Penny Reid, your book X contains sexually explicit content", as follows:
Neanderthal Seeks Human: Disagree
Neanderthal Marries Human: Agree
Friends Without Benefits: Disagree and Agree (because I give the reader two chapters where they can chose closed door or open door)
Love Hacked: Agree
Beauty and the Mustache: Agree
That stated, none of my books come anywhere close to erotica.
I hope this helps. Best, Penny

I just picked up my copy of Kissing Tolstoy. Thanks for donating the proceeds this month. It was also no surprise that no other book showed up when I searched for this title on Goodreads :) I'm torn now between finishing the newsletter serial or just jumping into the book. What's your recommendation?

Hi, Penny. I just recently discovered your books and, I have to say... I LOVE them. I'm completely enamored of your writing style. You deliver a perfect mixture of intelligence, humor and sexy. I read that you said you were thinking of giving Martin's (Elements of Chemistry) POV. I'm wondering (hoping! praying!) if you've decided to go ahead and write a book from his POV after all?
