About me:
"I've already recommended you to my customers, but I've just thought of some others who I've turned on to Cherry Adair, Suzanne Brockman, Amy Fetzer, Cindy Gerard...the women writers who construct great adventure novels with fierce romances attached...that I'll have to turn them on to you, too." -- Lee Ann Daugherty, Romance "Mistress", Waldenbooks #1393,
Elizabethtown, KY

The first romance novel I ever read was Kathleen  Woodiwiss’s The Flame and the Flower. I read it in 1977. I remember sitting on the end of my bed in an apartment where I only lived for six months and reading the end. My ironing board was up, my iron plugged in, a dress waiting to be pressed. Wherever it was I was going, I didn’t make it. I had to finish the book.
 Strangely enough, that was the only romance I read for a long time. I read Colleen McCullough and Phyllis Whitney and Sidney Sheldon and Jackie Collins . . . but no more romance.
Not until ten years later when a bookstore owner in Dallas introduced me to Sandra Brown, Linda Howard, Diana Palmer, and Elizabeth Lowell. From the get-go,  I was hooked on authors who wrote the hot stuff. I couldn’t get enough. I was in line for their every new release.
Is it any wonder my own writing traveled the same path?
I’ve now written over thirty novels and novellas, almost all of them published under an imprint showcasing steamy stories.
There are those who contend that certain authors are predisposed to writing with an erotic voice, style, tone, whatever. In other words, we can’t help it. We’re born that way. All I know is that this is how I write.
 The basic rules for turning basic instincts into blockbuster success.
Erotic romance reigns supreme as a big category of women’s fiction—a billion dollar business serviced by a new breed of uninhibited writer. This book is the necessary how-to for first timers and a terrific guide for seasoned professionals as well, who are putting their racy—and lucrative—fantasies to paper. Now, for the first time, a veteran erotic romance author shows exactly what to do—and how.
• 1st book to guide writers to succeed in this multi-million dollar genre
• Explores how to set up a plot and write good, steamy sex scenes
• From a best-selling experienced author
• Includes resource section for research tools and further reading
• Interviews with top editors in the field
• Foreword by Kate Duffy, editorial director at Kensington Publishing and founding editor of the genre
