I'm not a prude. I love sex. I adore men. I can't wait to read a really good romance with just the right sprinkling of passion and fantasy. However, when it comes to writing it, sometimes I freeze. I know in my mind what's going to happen next, but taking what is potentially crude and painting it as the stuff of dreams is a challenge.

To begin with, I simply cannot stand corny euphemisms. All the classic purple prose could make anyone’s panties cold. Rosy peaks, throbbing manhood, and referring to her “core” sucks the delight right out of a sex scene. So, how do I describe all these private parts?

I DON’T! I gloss over and dodge, and give enough of a hint of what is about to come before I close the door. Luckily, this is what my publisher wants. Moonlit Romance draws the line at “soft R.” This means the sex act can be a part of the story, but not fully described. So far, the Moonlit books I’ve read have been really good, and sexy, without being too explicit.

If you’d like an example of one of these, try It’s All Greek to Me by Laura Hamby. You can find it on the Moonlit Romance website. Then again, you can also pick up my November release, The Marry-Go-Round.
