Sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do. In my case, I took a chance at the erotic side of novel writing (with the pen name of Jennifer LaRose, of course). It was a very frightening experience...at first. Writing those graphic words was a definate, eek moment, but with the help of some friends, I made it to the contract stage. I'm not sure I could have made it without some of Ellora's Cave's wonderful authors.
"Kathleen Lash, Regina Carlysle, Laurann Dohner and Paige Tyler, words cannot express how deeply I appreciate your inspiration and encouragement. You will always be dear to my heart."
And that is reason #1 why a girl can never have too many girlfriends. They push you to your limit, refusing to let you fail.
Poor Kathleen; she read my ms at least twelve times while critiquing it. Now, I'm going to make her read the book. She is the best critique partner ever! She's brutally honest. And she probably wanted to smack me upside the head a few times to knock some comprehension into me, but she tackled me with politeness instead...again.
I'd also like to mention how amazing my editor, April Chapman, was to work with. She made the entire process short, sweet and painless. I've learned so much from her in a very short time.
"Thank you, ladies! You are amazing!"
