Working and writing

I belong to Rebel Ink authors group and I have learned so much from them,  most of them we well seasoned writers who are eager to share their knowledge, thankfully!  I am really glad that I signed with Rebel Ink,  oh and by the way will get to work on Allison's Dilemma this weekend, freaking YEAH!!  I will be posting another question next week so be prepared to give me some great answers again!

Question #1 - My Thoughts

Well I have thought long and hard about this question before I posted it, so here goes my thoughts - 

First - if someone views sex as porn then I guess at some point in all of our lives we have not only seen porn but have participated in it.  Well at least anyone that is married and not a virgin anymore.

Second - erotic romance or adult romance isn't about the "sex" scenes it is just like every other book it is about the story, the characters being able to feel the love that two or more people have between them.  Being able to understand what it is like to love someone through words on paper or a screen. 

Third - if you take some of the erotic romance or adult romance writers I will make you a 100% take it to the bank promise that they are better than some of the horror, comedy or mystery writers.  What kind of book can make you laugh, cry, feel love and hot/steamy all at the same time?  Believe me when I say my husband has listened to me literally laugh out loud while reading some books and want to cry when reading others.  If you ask me that is a writer! 

So in a nutshell my thought is simple NO, I do not feel that erotic romance should be considered porn, sure it maybe fits in the dictionary definition but so does a lot of other words that are acceptable and used differently in the English language.  To me love isn't just about sex, marriage, and happily everafter it is about the road leading up to the commitment, the feelings between the people in the relationship (M/F, M/M, F/F, M/FM or any other combination there of) so the next time someone wants to point a finger and label someone else they need to look at the other three fingers pointing back at them. 

Challenge Question #1

I want to purpose a challenge question to everyone, there is no right and there is no wrong answer just your answer.  The only rule is that you are respectful to others remarks no topic or coment is off limits but I ask for honesty and respect.  Thanks!

#1 Is erotic romance novels actually pornography? and why/why not??

Rachel Montgomery - Chase's Love

Rachel Montgomery is not your typical lady, she has a wonderful personality and is loyal to her friends Allison Cruze and Toni Weston.  She is a hard worker and was very loyal to her live-in boyfriend but we can't say the same about Paul.  After realizing that the realitionship was turning abusive Rachel decided to get out but was it to late?  Does Paul understand the work "NO"? Can Rachel recover from this realtionship?

Stay tuned for the up coming book Chase's Love

WOW What a long day!

I have not written anything in about a week,  my pc had issues and my hubby had surgery on his shoulder today.  He is home and doing well but it has really put a damper in my energy. At least Lou is ok and doing great hopefully with no complications in recovery he will be back up and going in about 2-4 weeks.  Maybe tonight I can write a little on Allison's Dilemma.  Still waiting on the edits for Chase's Love.

READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

This may not be as exciting to some as it is to me but these are wonderful opportunities for a newbie like me.  I have been given the opportunity to interviewed on Sept 16th on http://blrawiyaerotica.blogspot.com and in March with  http://theblogginamamma.blogspot.com  I also am speaking with Anne Holly.  These are wonderful authors and/or are seasoned pros so them taking this time to speak with a newbie is huge in my book.  Thank you all so much for this opportunity.
