Happy New Year and Goal-setting

I've been a long time away from here, but Im back and wanted to wish everyone the happiest of new years, filled with health, happiness, and prosperity. 2011 was a blur to me as the whirlwind of publishing swept me away. Finding my way through the promotion maze and needing time management tools certainly kept me on my toes.Some people marvel at my schedule, but I'd barreled into it full-throttle, and truly can't see the forest for the trees. It might be better that I don't! LOL I think it would…See More

Lynne Connolly commented on Deena Remiel's blog post Romance and Heat Levels
"Ellora's Cave used to have the S-E-X ratings. S was no holds barred, usually BDSM with some kink, and a very high sexual content (60% or more). E, which was the level I usually wrote at was Erotic, Graphic language (including "those"…"

"I think a guide would be a great idea - and a rating system. But on Smashwords it just seems to be a straight choice - adult content or not adult content - and there aren't enough categories to choose from either. For this particular book I…"

"Guess what, Lynne?!! My editors did change it to 3! Hahaha! I asked if they could provide us newbies with some kind of guide on our loop  to help us discern for ourselves. You, of course helped me consider! :)"

Deena Remiel commented on Deena Remiel's blog post Romance and Heat Levels
"I figure, my editors have read it enough to know that if the rating wasn't right, they'd call me on it and change it. But it's always good to ask their opinion before it's too late. :)"

Lynne Connolly commented on Deena Remiel's blog post Romance and Heat Levels
"To be a 4 or a 5, it really needs to have the words. You might disappoint readers. My latest release, (today, yay!), Bloody Crystal, will probably end up with a 3 or a 4 on ARE's bookstore, because the sex is vanilla and there's little…"

As I make my way through the romance publishing world, a question keeps gnawing at me, and I'd like some help sorting it out. Before I became an author, I was an avid reader. I got into paranormal and urban fantasy. I read Karen M Moning, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Kim Harrison, to name a few.  Their books contain quite steamy love scenes and one has scenes with multiple male characters having sex with a…

Hello Deena and thanks for friending me - Congratulations on your nomination - great news. I must spend more time here but am in the middle of moving house and my internet connection is a bit erratic - a nuisance as I have a novel out tomorrow!  Do drop by http://thedisorganisedauthor.blogspot.com
