PW shouldn't criticize for something like that if the overall story is well developed.<br /><br />Thank you ALL for stopping by and leaving a comment. Good luck and God's blessings to you ALL.<br />PamTPamela S Thibodeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038997223264816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-76804547040151156782017-03-11T15:58:53.723-06:002017-03-11T15:58:53.723-06:00Pam,
You're discussing an important issue tha...Pam,<br /><br />You're discussing an important issue that romance writers must contend with. My own romances are varied. I am not offended if there are sensual passages in a romance novel as long as they are appropriate to that particular work. Very often a novel requires a more mature sensuality.<br /><br />The last two novels of mine for adults published were very different in style and sensuality. DARK MOON RISING is a Southern Gothic which is sensual in nature. Very appropriate to this particular novel. THE INHERITANCE is a romantic mystery novel that has two romances but I felt sex scenes were neither appropriate nor necessary. Romance and mystery were equally weighted. I actually took criticism from Publishers Weekly for that. They stated that readers who want a "spicier novel" should look elsewhere. I think a novel can be great with or without sex scenes. It's the author's call as to what is appropriate to a particular work.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-69757599689581102402017-03-11T15:01:55.431-06:002017-03-11T15:01:55.431-06:00Pam, I think it's great that you put real issu...Pam, I think it's great that you put real issues and sensuality in your books.

If we were all perfect, there would be nothing to be forgiven for, right? :) Keep writing those awesome books!Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-7796061658870705442017-03-11T10:20:06.005-06:002017-03-11T10:20:06.005-06:00Aww...Thanks Tanya, the love and support of my pee...Aww...Thanks Tanya, the love and support of my peers in the Inspirational market is a blessing!<br /><br />Yeah, Robin...might turn out to be a fun thing LOL!<br /><br />Thank you BOTH for stopping by!<br />Good luck and God's blessings to each of you<br />PamTPamela S Thibodeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038997223264816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-9946620325147456242017-03-11T10:15:44.275-06:002017-03-11T10:15:44.275-06:00It's good to spotlight yourself sometimes!It's good to spotlight yourself sometimes!Robin Baynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640632701164428942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-67145664267336260842017-03-11T10:12:16.146-06:002017-03-11T10:12:16.146-06:00Hi Pam, first off, you do not need to apologize or...Hi Pam, first off, you do not need to apologize or ask forgiveness for being you! People--even Christians, feel desire before that magic moment of his wedding ring slipping on your finger. People drink alcoholic beverages and it isn't a sin-- Jesus's first mieacle was making wine, and people with fertility issues seek medical science. None of this interferes with one's faith in the Saviour. Some of the Christian, even inspirational, rules are leading to the demise of the genre. Readers are tired of judgemental themes. My first romances all had love scenes--and the couples were married. When one was reissued, a reviewer had the nerve to state I was unChristian! Anyway, I admire and enjoy your edgy stories because they are REAL.Tanya Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994772555687894913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-70477397940531733082017-03-11T10:05:28.596-06:002017-03-11T10:05:28.596-06:00Thanks LoRee!
