Once Upon A Kiss Celebration Week – Day Four

When one of my books comes out, I traditionally do a sex tally. Here are how the numbers fall for Once Upon A Kiss:

Number of sex scenes – NINE. Wow. I think that’s a record for me.
Percentage of sex in the book – 8%
Longest sex scene – 1,418 words
Shortest sex scene – 175 words

I’m wondering what the shortest sex scene you could write would be… Maybe, if you really used your imagination it could be one word.

Yes.

Can you write a sex scene in ten or less words? Give it a try and get a chance to win a free book. (Winner to be announced Wednesday, August 25, the day Once Upon A Kiss comes out.

Once Upon A Kiss Celebration Week – Day Two

I hope you liked yesterday’s excerpt. I also hope you commented. Every comment is a chance to win a copy of any of my backlist.

Today I’m going to focus on the concept of wishes. Wishes are fun to think about. They’re like the ultimate hypothetical. In the Be-Wished world that I created, you can’t just wish for world peace. The Universal Wish Federation avoids “granting wishes that could affect the economy, the environment, or health on a global scale.”

All three friends in my series find true love as a result of their wishes, even if they didn’t technically wish for love. So, I’m posing a few choices to you. What would you wish for…?

Love or money?
X-ray vision or invisibility?
A lifetime supply of McDonalds or Pizza Hut?
To be the ideal weight or in excellent health?

Chime in to win a free book. Drawing to be held Wednesday, August 25.

Leap of Faith Celebration – Day 4

The Incan civilization was grand. Although, I learned a lot researching for this story, I took some creative liberties, especially concerning the punishment for defiling a Sun Virgin. But hopefully the result justifies the tweaking of historical fact.

I was going to make up a trivia quiz for today’s blog entry, but saw that there are many perfectly good quizzes already out there. Why reinvent the wheel (which the Incans didn’t have, by the way)?

Take this quiz if you want. If you’d like the chance to win a free e-book from my backlist, to to the comment section and let me know something you learned about the Incas that you didn’t know before.

My score: 40% (How embarrassing!) The quiz was hard!

If you’d like to purchase the book in which those creative liberties were taken, go here. 🙂
