Customer Reviews

One of the better romance fiction books

There are thousands of how-to romance fiction writing books on the market. This book was one of the best that had unique techniques and not just a repeat of other books. The author goes into great detail about sexual chemistry, the natural steps leading up to an steamy sex scene and the levels of physical contact between the characters. Every sex scene will be different, to match the two characters personality and their backstory.

The Best Selling Theme of All Time

A fantastic help and very thorough!Invaluable information on getting that first sale, and what to do from there.This book helped me to focus in my writing, and to be a bit more disciplined and organized as well. It also presents the "big picture" of romance writing in a way you'll hardly find anywhere else or in any writing course.Chapters include: Setting the Mood, Where Lovers Meet, The Harsh and Tender Words of Love, Your Passport to Publication, The Glorious Glow of Success, Reading to Put You in a Romantic Mood, Authors to Study, Research Sources, Romance Publishers, and others.A very practical and useful book.
