Welcome! You definitely sound like you fit ...Cari,<br /><br />Welcome! You definitely sound like you fit in with us Wilder Roses. hahah<br /><br />And kudos to you for writing an erotic romance and submitting it to us! hahaha Seriously, I love the idea of the online dating site, which is completely relevant to our times. I'm sure every one of us knows a couple who met online -- and are still going strong. That's a great example of what I meant in my earlier comments.<br /><br />And I'm sure many of us are curious about Cyrano and what he writes -- or will write. Three cheers for the guys! They are the ones, after all, who fuel our fantasies. <br /><br />I can't agree with you more about Helen Hardt's Passion in Paris -- incredible! And I just proofread another one of hers, soon to be published. As her CP, you've probably read it too. It sure tied me up in knots, so to speak. hee hee<br /><br />Our senior editor, Diana Carlisle, is also off at a conference today, otherwise she would have been here earlier. I think she's stopping by later....right, Diana? Unless you're having too much fun meeting Scarlet authors and readers in person. grin<br /><br />You mentioned you submitted a Blaze ms -- do you have other books out there already? Even if you do, we'll love you anyway! hahaha<br /><br />So glad you stopped by. Check in again -- us editors are bopping in and out, in between editing your mss. *grin*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-35013725930951471372009-05-01T16:44:00.000-04:002009-05-01T16:44:00.000-04:00Hey Lori,

I hope this is just one of many I'll have here at Scarlet Rose. I sure love my editor, Pam. She's been amazing.<br /><br />:)BeckyRebecca J.

Looks like you guys have been having a blast! :) <br /><br />Hi Lori! *waves* You'll be happy to know the Scarlet I'm hoping to finish in the next few days features a h/h who meet on an online dating site. <br /><br />Along another thread I saw mentioned here, the Blaze I recently submitted to Harlequin featured an erotic romance author hero. So there's definitely nothing wrong with men writing romance - especially the spicier ones! <br /><br />Oh, and since my CP, Helen Hardt, isn't around today because she's at her RWA chapter's conference, I figured I'd give her latest read a shout out, too. Passion in Paris features a sexy hunk, an exotic locale and amazing sex...what more could you want? ;)<br /><br />I'm really hoping to be a Wilder Rose soon! I like the Wilder side!Cari Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581235338272282124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-77107686587551350792009-05-01T15:51:00.000-04:002009-05-01T15:51:00.000-04:00Becky,

So,you said you experienced a sort of reverse-Cougar effect, it sounds like. Yikes! But it's all worked out in the end? You're happily married, and able to show your naughty side in the pages of your books and your blog. Well, and participate in research studies with your husband, too. LOL<br /><br />It's been great to talk with you here, more than we've been able to do on the author/reader loop. And I can tell I've missed way too many good Scarlet stories! Editing my own authors' works, reading submissions and proofreading the occasional story for another editor - well, there's just not enough hours in the day to get to all the great stories we have in our Scarlet line!<br /><br />Sooo...I'm off to figure out how to get blogs/RSS feeds/etc coming into my Wild Rose Press email in an organized fashion...so many new ones I learned about today.

It has become a part of my must keep and re read pile (virtually speaking anyway)<br /><br />Lori,<br /><br />LOL I have long time friends that are shocked when they learn just how naughty I really am. Blame it all on my mom. Only child, I was raised by a single mom who loved romance and she and I had a very open relationship and discussed things most don't talk about with mom. Oh well, I guess it all worked out in the end. But yes, I am not very exotic looking, just the girl next door look but a tiger in the pages of my stories. When I was single though, it was never the guys my age that were drawn to me, it was the older men.

Some people think it's "dating" a story too much to include references to such things as IMing or Facebook or American Idol, for example, but they're here to stay, so why ignore them? And it just helps our readers relate to the h/h better, if the h/h act or react in ways similar to how we would, and using similar tools.<br /><br />And it's not just about technology, either, although that is the easy one to discuss. It's also about our culture -- the big things on TV (the ones that are around for a long time), where we like to vacation -- or HOW we like to vacation, things like that. Our changing society. Does this make sense? And I'm on a roll, so I'll shut up! hahaha<br /><br />Kudos to you for writing that erotic paranormal! We need more erotically paranormal activities in our lives...or maybe it's paranormally erotic?!
