Guest Blogging: Jane’s Ride 27/7

janecoverI’ll be guest blogging next Monday on Jane Kennedy Sutton’s lovely blog, Jane’s Ride, writing about how to do a good sex scene that won’t make your reader cringe or laugh out loud. This came about because Jane and I were part of a fantastic blog tour course, where new students (like me) make a commitment to both blogging every day and commenting on classmates’ blogs, as well as those who have been through the class already (like Jane).

A conversation got going on her blog about how difficult it is to write a sex scene. Many folks said they preferred to just shy away from the whole thing. I left a comment about my own experiences and voilà, Jane asked whether I might write about it for a guest blog. Of course!

So check out Jane’s blog, which is chock full of writing advice and knowledge, and check out her novel Ride, too, for an exciting journey!

Coffee Time Romance Review

ReviewedAtCTR2
Woot! Coffee Time Romance has reviewed Chastity Flame and given her 5 CUPS. Yep, that’s their highest level of praise. I am so excited! Here’s a taste of Danielle‘s review:

Chastity Flame is the beginning of a trilogy and is one thrill ride after another and while there is tons of spicy sex, it does not detract from the overall storyline. Debut novelist Ms. Kempe amazes me with her wonderful writing talent. Chastity is the type of person I would want to be on my side, boy, can she kick some serious butt! Damien is every woman’s teacher fantasy come to life, complete with oozing sensuality and a hot body. If the first book in the trilogy is this mind blowing, I can only imagine how fantastic the other books will be; I cannot wait to read another story about Chastity and the life she lives as a spy!

Just what I needed to spur me onto faster work on the sequel!
