Don't forget, there is a great Giveaway below for the book Queen of Hearts!
BOOK SUMMARY:
Maya Cobb is a classic Gemini. She’s adaptable, affectionate, versatile, cunning, and she holds a deep-seated fear of commitment. Which means she’s the perfect match for Aquarius Erica.
Erica Jones, also true to her astrological sign, is friendly, honest, loyal, fiercely independent, and detached. She hasn’t found a satisfying relationship in ages, and is ready to give up on love, even though she runs a dating service.
After a one night stand, fate keeps throwing them together in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day. Maya offers to help Erica plan the Queen of Hearts Matchmaking event, though she doesn’t know much about dating women.
Erica quickly realizes that while Maya bolted after their first night, she might be the only hope Erica has to save her business.
Astrology says they’re compatible, but neither woman can be sure.
Hi there Fantasy Floosies and hello to your loyal readers!
I’m back again to talk about one of my favorite subjects…
SEX. J
Let’s talk today about the best and worst places to write a
sex scene. Let’s go with the best first and then the worst.
Three favorite places to write a sex scene.
On a train!
Writing sex in a public
place like a train really works well for me. It helps me focus on the writing
and block out the rest of the world. I put on my music, and let it roll. The
opening scene of my first erotic romance, An
Affair Across Times Square was written while I was travelling around the
south/center of France. J
It was great.
At Barnes & Noble!
Okay, so it’s a total writer cliché to be
sipping a drink at a coffee shop/bookstore and typing genius on your laptop.
But it works for me as well. The bulk of my third book, Queen of Hearts was written in the coffee shop of my local B&N,
as was Spicy with a Side of Cranberry
Sauce.
I like to spend all day there writing. So it’s not always sex
scenes, but a lot of the time it is. I usually only write the really naughty
ones with my back to the wall so I know that no one is looking over my shoulder
and reading it! Drafts are not meant to be read in public after all.
In my basement office – late at night!
There’s nothing like writing the sex scene in the middle of the night, with the
electric fireplace roaring, and low light, while the stars twinkle outside.
It’s romantic and sexy.
Sometimes, if I’m stuck on a scene or whatever or need
inspiration, I’ll do some research at this hour of the night as well. ;-p
Research usually consists of me googling “best places to have sex” or a certain
position. Sometimes it includes
texting friends in the middle of the night to ask their faves.
And now for the worst
places to write a sex scene:
While in a room with your family members.
Nothing is less sexy than trying to write a sex scene while your parents,
grandparents, siblings, children, or other relatives are in the room. I mean,
ew, right? So if I’m editing a book, I can do it while watching some TV with
them or in the same room as family members. Other than that? No way! Just can’t
do it.
During nap time.
The kids’ nap time, not mine. I don’t get naps. L I work with kids, and
we get 2.5 hours of nap time every day. A lot of days I’ll use this time to
work on guest blogs like this one, but when I’m on a deadline, like I was for Queen of Hearts, I’ll work on it during
nap.
But writing a sex scene here is complicated! I have to worry about
constant coitus interruptus! A kid wakes up, or another staff member needs
something… or any other number of things. It doesn’t bode well for a cohesive
scene. That’s why I’ll start a scene and there’s no condom and then by the end,
Amy and Mason are rolling it off and throwing it out. No good.
While on a bus at night.
The brightness
of the screen makes it too easy for nosy little old ladies to read the book
from over my shoulder.
So there it is folks – the best and worst places to be while
writing a sex scene. Care to share your thoughts? Perhaps you could give me
your list of best and worst places to HAVE sex instead of write it? C’mon, your
top three best and worst.
