My husband detests "Risking Ruin"! He doesn't understand the genres of Chick-Lit or romance at all. He's read through the first sex scene and then just couldn't tolerate it any longer. I don't take offense. I'd rather go on a 10 mile hike in the middle of summer than read the five volume biography of Lyndon Johnson he currently has his nose in. Our tastes in pleasure reading differ and that's fine with me. Nonetheless, he's my biggest cheerleader in this project and extremely proud of me.
My family has no clue I've written a novel. However, my two closest friends I consider family and they read my work as a serial. When I get a few chapters pulled together, they gobble them up and then tell me what they like, don't like, and want more of. It's partially their fault there is so much sex in "Risking Ruin." So blame them if you think it's too much!
As for them asking to read my book, my sister and brother would roll their eyes. They would never ask. My mother would be super supportive and probably really like it. And no one wants their father reading sex scenes they've written! (Okay, probably someone wouldn't mind, but I'm from the U.S. South where daddies and daughters pretend sex doesn't exist.)

Are you currently working on anything new? I've read all four of your books, then read every single page of your website, all your blogs, everything. I need more! (Yes, NEED!) I would love to know about anything you are working on, and how much patience I'm going to need waiting for it. :) Seriously, I love your characters and hope there is more to come soon!
