I know, it’s almost a month away, but I’m so excited about my next book Cruise into Eden to be released in early September. Why? Because it is a first for me in a couple ways.
First, it is a novella. I am not known for writing short,
so when my friend challenged me to write shorter than 300 pages, I was
reluctant to give it a try. I like a lot of story with my erotic romance and I
wasn’t sure I would be satisfied with, say, a 100 page book. I even talked to
my agent about it, and she raised her brows in doubt before asking what
classical fiction I would use as inspiration. Since a short story inspired a
full length novel for me, she wanted to know if I would use a haiku :-)
Actually, her joke helped as it gave me the idea of
looking for a poem to use and I found the perfect one. Then I asked for advice
from other erotic romance authors who write short all the time, much shorter
than mine turned out, and they were very forthcoming. I couldn’t have done it
without them.
