In real life, when odd things, coincidences, or thoughts come to me I always wonder if there are supernatural forces at work. So it's only natural when I write, that those ideas get magnified.<br /><br />I think that results in my signature magical realist style, very evident in my most recent Eternal Press release Hot Gianna Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527472416321586954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091494166920508951.post-56289354567833849142010-06-11T07:53:53.467-07:002010-06-11T07:53:53.467-07:00LOL!

I love the way your love of Westerns segued into a successful writing career!<br /><br />I write erotic romance because I like more than just a little spice in my character's love life! I don't get kinky, that I leave for some of my critique partners to write. I have dabbled in paranormal and YA and enjoyed both but I think my first love of genre will always be erotic Valerie Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761558020418265338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091494166920508951.post-91436083851456342472010-06-10T16:29:31.829-07:002010-06-10T16:29:31.829-07:00You expressed exactly why I write paranormal roman...You expressed exactly why I write paranormal romances, to escape the everyday stresses of life.

Not a good thing for readers or writers.<br /><br />Keep doing what you love, tell the stories begging to get out and I'm sure they'll be winners.<br /><br />Good luck with the novel.<br /><br />Lorrie<br />http://struiff.wordpress.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296793847863721845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091494166920508951.post-89282006219412843552010-06-10T13:54:32.239-07:002010-06-10T13:54:32.239-07:00Good Excerpt.You got to wright what you fill.I'...Good Excerpt.You got to wright what you fill.I'm entrested in seeing your book.<br /><br />sasluvbooks(at)yahoo.comStacey Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877466721665434680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091494166920508951.post-78229441106448091042010-06-10T12:35:01.238-07:002010-06-10T12:35:01.238-07:00I love what you had to say last, that is so true. ...I love what you had to say last, that is so true.
