about my publisher and editor is their openness to writing that fall outside the lines of formula. I don’t have to write she did/he did chapters, alternating between two main characters and little else — and having to stretch it out for 70,000 words. I can write from a single character’s perspective. Or I can tell a story from the perspective of several characters, which I’ll treat you with in my next work, a two-book erotic novel set in a fantasy world.
Carnal Desires Publishing takes a broad view of what constitutes erotic romantic. It doesn’t matter whether a novel features vanilla sex or the kinkiest of the kink, if it has likable characters, is well written, and has a satisfying ending, it counts. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that creative freedom.
So why am I waxing so ebullient yet again? Two reasons. My editor, Alexandra Adams, has been hard at work bringing several new novels on-line at Carnal Desires Publishing. They deserve notice — and Alexandra deserves heaps of praise; I know firsthand how hard she works to make CDP titles clean and tight reads. Head publisher Deron Douglas has expanded the number of formats available for purchase, staying on top of the evolving e-book market and consumers’ needs.
Working with Alexandra and Deron is wonderfully collaborative and I see nothing more beautiful scenery as I walk this rewarding path with them. That’s why I’m exhuberant this morning.
