Body Rocks

Gosh, two blogs in one week??!! It's like waiting for a bus, you queue for ages and nothing arrives and then all of a sudden two come along at once!

Anyway, last night (7th June) while I was on eBay (I really must limit myself on that site, it's too tempting by far) I received the edits for Body Rocks. Apart from putting my thinking cap for one area, and its not really major, just clarifying the families history, there is not a lot to do. I received some nice comments about the humour, pacing, the good descriptions of characters and locations, and how the story draws the reader in. To say I'm pleased is an understatement.

The one area I did have concerns over is the heat level. All of my books so far have been 'sextreme', but I thought I would have problems with this one because Samantha, our heroine, is a virgin and it's not in her nature to use coarse words for body parts. Our hero, Daniel, on the other hand, is not one to pussy foot around with language. Because some of the sex scenes are from Samantha's POV, I didn't want to overload in his POV with his own sex scenes to compensate (if that makes sense). And it's seems I didn't because my editor has rated this as 'sextreme'. Yay!!

Hopefully, I will have the edits completed over the weekend, but I have until the 28th June, so I might take my time and get it right. I'm so thankful that my editor pointed out the parts that needed clarifying. I'd already written the ending for the fourth and final book (Lust in the First Degree), but now I know I need to edit and add stuff so it all ties up nice with a big blue bow. Why blue? Well, not only is it my favourite colour, but it's blue for erotic. Cliched I know, but there you go.

Whatever you're reading now, enjoy.
