Leap of Faith Celebration – Day 5

Being an erotic romance author, I know a lot sex occurs in my books. Hello. I put it there. LOL

When a new book comes out, I always like to take a good hard look at exactly how much sex got in. Here are how the numbers fall for Leap of Faith, which you can buy here. 🙂

Sex scenes: 4
Shortest sex scene: 269 words
Longest sex scene: 1283 words
Sex percentage: 15%

Hmm. Only 15%.

Well, it’s quality, not quantity, right?

Today’s question: Have you ever skimmed over the sex scene in a book? Why? Answer in the comment section and you may win a free e-book from my backlist.

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. 🙂

Leap of Faith Celebration – Day 2

Well, the Mad Libs thing was a roaring success.

But I shall blithely go forward.

In the course of revising Leap of Faith, which you can buy here, I found out that Peruvians like to eat guinea pigs. Roasted on a spit. I don’t find this disgusting, like eating live baby octopi, but I don’t know if I could ever taste guinea pig. Especially since they serve it still looking like a rodent. If it was like a McGuinea Pig Strip, I might try it, but otherwise…

Anyway, today’s question is, would you try “cuy” as it’s called in Peru? Answer the comment section and you might win a free e-book from my backlist.

Summertiiiiiime!

Got plans for the summer? My one son is attending Show Choir Camp for two weeks. He auditioned and made it onto the intermediate boys and girls show choir at the high school, a group that sings and dances. My other son wants to take Health in summer school so he doesn’t have to take it during the school year.

There are no immediate plans to travel anywhere. We have week-long trip to Honolulu planned for January, so funds will be needed for that.

Do you have summer excursions lined up?
