Put it in. The love scene, that is. No pun intended...well, okay, maybe it was.

Joanne, will you be at conference this year? I didn't see your name on the signing list.

Leslie, I really enjoyed Heated Rush! Made me want to read the other one (about the real EMS guy...which I think came out first...oh, well)

Great question, Wayne!

 1. The emphasis on the sex--because I think it's the most compelling and life-changing part of a romantic relationship, not because I'm a hornball, LOL.

2. The ability to write a story that fits the main characters without worrying about offending someone or crossing the tight boundaries of the line (because there aren't any)

3.  I think Julie just mentioned this, but the wide range of stories. There's something for everyone.

3.5. I also want to sneak in my appreciation for the young and modern tone. And the short word count, because hard as I try, I don't think I'll ever find time to read single-titles on a regular basis. 

Who am I kidding? I love it all.

Congratulations on your sale, Christyne!!! Fabulous news!

((Sue)) Rs on fulls are tough...but wow, an editor thinks you are very close. That's awesome. Good luck with the next one!

 *eta: Hugs to you too, Bernadette! I am so busy...so behind on everyone's news...

Hi Kira! Congrats on your first release!!

I'm looking forward to attending your workshop at National, but I have GH rehearsal during the beginning of it, so don't say anything too informative in the first ten minutes, okay?  

(*eta...rechecked the schedule, no, I don't! Yay, I'm free to take in all your pearls of wisdom)

After writing for x number of years, what do you think pushed you past that final hurdle to publication?

It's not less Blaze-y. Just less serious. As in, characters don't need devastating internal issues or a villain out to get them. Did you ever read the original Temptation line?

Think lighthearted, but still very hot. HTH.
