A SPECIAL SEX SCENE JUST FOR YOU
The Outcast has won a Silver IPPY award for erotic romance, and I couldn't be more excited! I love all the heat and steam in this book. In order to celebrate I thought I'd share a scene for you to enjoy and see what heat rating you felt it deserved. Enjoy! Chapter 14 excerpt ******* Fabian holds himself above me suspended on his arms, muscles bunching in my peripheral vision, his ropey body sporting the imprints of where I’ve mapped his tattoos, traces of honey on his chest.

THE TOP 6 THINGS READERS HATE IN BOOKS
The Outcast has been doing better in the book awards than I anticipated, having been shortlisted for six awards to date. And I'm surprised. With the drugs and the crazy behaviour, I thought perhaps Fabian was too over the top for a book award. Readers can react in funny ways, and there are some people, I discovered, for whom drugs are a complete no-no. And I understand that - don't we all have things that we hate in books? In romance, cheating is one of mine. For some of you

DO MEN EVER ENJOY READING ROMANCE NOVELS?
I've had some lovely feedback on The Refusal from men. And I guess it surprised me, it shouldn't have done, but sometimes it's difficult to see past our own biases, not to mention all my lovely female readers! But I love having my preconceived notions of who might read my book challenged. " Terrific start for a new author. Intriguing romance woven into a solid story; both worth the read . A very good debut novel from a talented author. I’d call this an explicit romance or an

5 ROMANCE NOVELS WITH THE BEST SEX SCENES OF ALL TIME
What makes a good sex scene for you? Long and drawn out or fast and furious? Perhaps the interesting use of accoutrements (honey, rope, water ....) is your jam. And that’s before we get onto angry sex, makeup sex, unexpected sex, or sex with the fear of discovery. I’ve loved steamy romance novels for as long as I can remember, and I have high expectations of that scene where they finally fall into each other's arms. I’m a fan of something unusual: Not tacky or totally unreal

WHAT 6 ROMANTIC PARTNERS SAID WHEN THEY LEFT NOTES FOR EACH OTHER
In last week's post, I talked about finding notes from my kids, but also another set of notes that I found on the internet: notes to and from a romantic partner. There's something very special about a note from the person you're closest to in life, they can be revealing and joyous and excruciating all at the same time. This first one is probably my favorite. I love that this guy's wife offered a fight as a welcome home. And who hasn't enjoyed a nerf gun fight at some point in

9 HILARIOUS NOTES PEOPLE LEAVE FOR EACH OTHER
The notes people leave or give to each other are like shining a light into the crevices and cracks of how we behave as people: Everything from mundane shopping lists to signs in shop windows, funny personal ads and love letters. It's often the most unintentional things about them or an amusing response that wasn't intended, that takes them from 'just a note' to something extraordinary. Ever since my kids left notes around our house for the tooth fairy or Santa (I will do ano

SEX APOLOGY BISCUITS
I meet with a group of friends in Edinburgh to ruminate over writing, actually write (if there is not too much gossip to be shared), read, and learn something new. One of these friends, Anjelica, told us a story about being kept awake in her flat by the nighttime activities of her new next-door neighbors. To be honest, I was slightly envious, it sounded like the perfect situation for a romance author! The following morning, she woke up to a note and a packet of biscuits on he
