That shuts them up but they bug me all the time and I just smile!! <br /><br />I have 2 daughters - 23 and 19 and if they wanted to read any of my books - they are available. So far as I know they haven't yet but I'm sure there will be a time that they will and I have no problem lending them. I have learned so much about myself through reading erotic romances - they have improved my personal experiences so much that I can't even believe how much. My husband has enjoyed the benefits of my reading these books as well. I have even had him read a couple of them.<br /><br />Summer, I love your story but I have to tell you that I am thoroughly frustrated with having to wait to read what feels like the next chapter. I would rather wait and buy them when they are all out so I don't have to wait but I have bought all 3. This probably isn't what you want to hear but it is the truth. I do love your 3 books out but I really wish the whole story would be available NOW. <br /><br />Please take that as a compliment! I did go on a daytime talk show on TV here in Canada as a reader of erotic romance and they had a blogger on there as well as an author - it was a lot of fun. I did have a cousin mention that she saw me on there and laughed her head off. It might help more women learn more about themselves like it does for me and I'm all about spreading the word.<br /><br />Thank you for your books and everybody I chat with online knows about your story. <br /><br />I just bought an ebook from All Romance that has a story you wrote in it "Sexy Briefs - Knickers In A Twist". You are auto-buy for me - just wish there were tons of books available.Debbie Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521495700723099187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977235956385710789.post-85727621212231754922012-02-26T12:22:59.662-08:002012-02-26T12:22:59.662-08:00This is an interesting perspective.

I had read somewhere recently that women in general tend to 'share' what turns them on and the fact that other women think something is hot tends to make it hotter for other women. I think the theory was related to the proliferation of Twilight. I have something to think about now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977235956385710789.post-5287660674653117102012-02-26T10:19:26.145-08:002012-02-26T10:19:26.145-08:00My writing is juicy but not considered erotic. I ...My writing is juicy but not considered erotic. I have been told by my more conservative friends that they won't read it because it causes them to fantasize about other men. Why can't they use what I write to fantasize about their significant other? Maybe they aren't as happy as they portray? I don't know...the excuses are all crap! Be proud of what you write!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023268003403181593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977235956385710789.post-61297261366401952852012-02-23T10:44:25.224-08:002012-02-23T10:44:25.224-08:00Well said Brandie ... and so true.

I think it is indicative of a larger societal ill that sex is viewed as something only worth discussing behind closed doors while the media pushes it 24/7/365 ...Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145673844912872632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977235956385710789.post-56714474366422594332012-02-23T08:58:52.986-08:002012-02-23T08:58:52.986-08:00I don't think it helps that we closet ourselve...I don't think it helps that we closet ourselves as erotic authors. Only a few people I interact with in my daily life know what I write. Living in a very conservative, rural area, when most people ask me what I write, I fudge the truth.<br /><br />My parents, however, are very proud of me and tell most of their friends and pass along my website. Why does my 70 y/o father have no shame about it, yet I worry what my neighbor will think? Maybe I need to take a leap of faith and come out of the erotica closet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
