After all, you could...Yup, Madison, why waste time? After all, you could be reading a good book instead. LOL. <br /><br />Let me see, the wildest thing I've ever written... How about Scott sneaking Jenny into the firehall in the middle of the night, and her pole dancing around the fire pole? That was fun! (That was in Hot in Here.) I also really enjoyed writing my novella "Private Eyes" for the March Aphrodisia, SOME LIKE IT ROUGH. My heroine, a buttoned-up admin assistant with a secret craving for adventure, goes undercover as a stripper. Writing the strip scenes - when she had one particular PI in mind to strip for - was pretty sexy! (And then, yes, of course they did get together, hot and heavy, afterwards!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906829425407263991.post-9918491549308318632010-01-14T00:31:15.590-05:002010-01-14T00:31:15.590-05:00Hi Booklover. While you're checking out Damien...Hi Booklover. While you're checking out Damien's barbie recipe, also check out the Hawaiian coconut pie with lime and rum!<br /><br />Mmm, favorite scene... That's a tough one. I think I have two, both taking place not on the plane but in Honolulu. The first is when Damien is doing a reading at a bookstore, then Theresa helps out with answering questions. Not only did I love writing scenes from his cop thriller, but this was a scene where I think each of them really saw each other in their professional roles, and truly respected each other. And then the second scene was later that night, skinny dipping and making love on Waikiki Beach. Hard to beat that!

I just love the cover art, and now I am so intrigued by the story line.<br /><br />The Wild Ride to Love series sounds fantastic and I am looking forward to them. So just to be mischievous, do all the characters in the series get to do the smexy on their mode of transportation?<br /><br />answer to question: I wait for the person seated next to me to start a conversation. With so little space on a plane, I feel if I initially start talking I am encrouching on their bubble of space.Armeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834412672218114166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906829425407263991.post-45567040634720756242010-01-13T15:07:33.202-05:002010-01-13T15:07:33.202-05:00I guess not, so here I go again - a little bit sho...I guess not, so here I go again - a little bit shorter (argghh).<br />This sounds like a really wonderful read! I'm glad that the heroine's 1st POV is alternated with the hero's POV, 'cause I always feel that I'm missing the other character's feelings and thoughts when there's only a single 1st POV.<br /><br />I like to travel and I don't mind flying at all, but when I fly alone I try to keep to myself. The main reason is that you never know when you start talking to someone if that person keeps chitchatting during the rest of the flight. And then I wouln't be able to read my smutty books ;)<br />Thanks Ms. Lyons and girls from the RR for this great giveaway! :DJannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097232237827106033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906829425407263991.post-40238733075976054372010-01-13T15:01:30.971-05:002010-01-13T15:01:30.971-05:00For a moment I didn't pay attention and my nic...For a moment I didn't pay attention and my nice, long comment just disappeared!

It doesn't happen often to me, and doesn't usually last very long, but sometimes if I have a sinus cold, it'll happen.<br /><br />Hmm, things people might not know about me... I'm a big fan of the TV show "Castle" - I love the writing and acting. My favorite way to celebrate the steps along the way is with bubbly. For something big, it's a bottle of champagne (often shared with my critique group) and for smaller things it's one of those mini bottles of Henkell Trocken - and I drink it with my lunch, because that seems like more of a treat. And, very appropriately for someone named Lyons, I'm a Leo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906829425407263991.post-23303565355911031322010-01-13T12:44:51.736-05:002010-01-13T12:44:51.736-05:00Thanks, Ina - and I'm glad you like my website...Thanks, Ina - and I'm glad you like my website.

When I firs...Beverley, that's a great question. When I first started writing (mysteries, at the time), my natural voice was first person. When I realized that what I really wanted to write was romance, the convention at the time was that they were all pretty much in third person, alternating the heroine's and hero's point of view. So, I learned how to do that. But I often find it's not as immediate. When I read third person, I don't feel as emotionally connected to the character or as engaged in the story.<br /><br />The publishing biz has loosened up a lot in terms of the conventions, and now there are definitely romances written in first person - sometimes with both heroine and hero in first person, or sometimes just one point of view for the whole story. <br /><br />For me, it's a matter of finding what voice "feels" best for each character. When I started Sex Drive (and the Wild Ride to Love series), I knew the stories were going to be about the sisters and their guys, so the heroines are a bit more the "main" characters than the heroes. Because Theresa starts out pretty inhibited and controlled, she could have come across as stiff and starchy, yet I really wanted the reader to identify with her, so writing her in first person just seemed to work for me. I've done the same thing in the next in the series, Love, Unexpectedly, out in April from Brava (under the pen name Susan Fox). Heroine Kat is in first person; hero Naveen is in third.<br /><br />And no, it's not hard to write. I just get into that character's head and voice, and then it flows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906829425407263991.post-30700490269345868142010-01-13T12:02:12.950-05:002010-01-13T12:02:12.950-05:00Sunny and Kayla, looks like you'll just have t...Sunny and Kayla, looks like you'll just have to get your kicks from books.
