I wanted to call it Remarkably Penetrative Sperm, but my editor, alas, said no. Marriages of convenience are a major hook for category book buyers. Sperm, apparently, isn’t. [...]<BR/><BR/>One of my editors removed a reference to (male) pubic hair once, but I’ve included it since without any problem, which is good, because romance heroes don’t tend to wax. Another editor took out a description of the hero disposing of a used condom, and I sort of agree with that because it is gross, but hey, it’s an important part of real-life sex, and, to me, an indication that he’s not a slob.<BR/><BR/>[...] I have fun these days writing romantic sex scenes, and erotic ones. They’re two different views of fantasy.</I><BR/><BR/>I have to admit that the main reason I liked the interview was because it made me laugh, but that's not to say that Julie isn't making some serious points about fantasy and realism and how the fantasy and realistic elements in different genres (and sub-genres) may differ.Laura Vivancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906661869372622821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30203557.post-39108928473724239292007-05-01T08:02:00.000+01:002007-05-01T08:02:00.000+01:00Thanks so much for the mention.
