Writing Paranormal Romance with Steam
Before I was a paranormal romance writer, I was a reader foremost, and a lover of steamy scenes. I decided that I wanted to try writing it in Prophecy of a Vampire as I had envisioned sexual chemistry between the main characters as well as a steamy scene.
Looking back at my nerves, it’s quite amusing at how shy yet eager I was, to the point that I reached out to various erotica authors and got pep talks and advice from them. Needless to say, after writing my first steamy scene in the book, I sent it off to my best friend and her response was along the lines of, “You know you’ve done something right when I now want to jump my partners bones.”
Another interesting tidbit of information about the book and writing steamy scenes is that originally the manuscript tiptoed the barrier between romance and erotica. I was quite pleased with myself as it was never the intention.

It’s been almost a century since Zachary Philips was turned into a creature of the night. A brooding man with a thirst for freedom and for blood. When he hears of the prophesied Vampire Queen being reborn, he hatches a plan to gain his freedom. Soon, their lives collide and although they are opposites, their sizzling sexual chemistry binds them together.
It doesn’t take too long before Ivy Litt finds herself ensnared by Zachary. She also realizes she can’t stay away from him. If only she knew about the web of lies he was spinning.
Will Zachary’s past and cry for freedom ruin his one chance of happiness, or will Ivy’s thread of humanity change the course of what could be something special?

Excerpt:
“Ivy, there is nothing you can do about it anymore. You might
think that what you did was bad, but you protected yourself and it also
happened to be in the natural way, for a vampire, that is. Which you are now,
so you must learn to understand, and live with the knowledge that this will be
a part of your future. You will get angry, you will get thirsty, and that
thirst will be to kill whoever stands in your way. In this case, the mutts were
advancing on you, and you did the natural thing and retaliated with fangs.”
I give her another
light squeeze, which then turns into my thumb, rubbing circles on her shoulder,
just as I have done in the past. I feel her loosen up a little and all the
anxiety and distress fleeing her body.
