Sigh...
Last year I had six books published. This year, I have only one so far. But the uphill battle with my muse was worth every moment. I certainly hope that this offering meets with the exacting standards my readers have impressed on me. LOL!
I have been threatened with all manner of dire consequences if this book does not meet the standards of at least four readers. What are those standards, you ask? Well, here they are:
1.) The hero must be intensely hot and sexy
2.) The Heroine must be feisty and funny
3.) The book must contain at least one Native American character
4.) And the book must be over 70 pages...
I hope that I have met or exceeded those standards. I suppose I'll find out when the release comes out on October 18th.
You know, people complain that my books are too short. However, when I try to "flesh them out", they tend to get slammed for being "not exciting enough". You know, putting 100 hot sex scenes into a book takes a lot out of an author...
I love writing erotic romance, but if you have noticed, most of my books have only the lovers, plus maybe one or two secondary characters. Yes...I could flesh out the books to make them 50 pages longer, but the heat and the humor would suffer if I had ten secondary characters.
What do you think? If you have read any of my books, tell me whether you would prefer to have a longer story. Do my books need more sex or violence or suspense? I want to hear your thoughts on these things...
Hugs!
