Sherrod Story – Here lies your book boyfriend…naked.
American romance novelist of paranormal, erotic, contemporary and young adult/new adult fiction
You always need a villain to keep a good book interesting. Villains can be anyone, male, female, pretty or ugly, rich or poor. But for me it’s always more interesting when they don’t look like they should be bad, yet they’re pretty much horrible. Continue reading “Every romance needs a villain to keep things interesting”
Men are the best and the worst kind of distraction. You know you need to work, but there they are with their big eyes and big hands and big…appetites. It’s hard to resist when you really don’t want to anyway. Who needs a job, right? I bet a woman could live on love, if it was good, and let’s face it, Tan love would be…or so Sinna believes. Continue reading “Stop distracting me. I can’t live on love. Or can I?”
Uggh! Men play too much. Especially the younger ones when you’re trying to get things done. In this unedited snippet which picks up where last week’s blog leaves off, Sinna is on the road with her Korean cutie, and he’s proving to be quite the distraction. Book will be out this month! #Staytuned Oh, the … Continue reading Younger men can be annoying. Scintillating, but annoying
There’s nothing more annoying than a man who has no opinions. Or, one who doesn’t plan. To me that indicates a lack of care or concern. Neither of which is attractive in fiction – or in real life. My heroes? Alphas, baby. Even when the culture wants them to be sweet. *winks* Continue reading “There’s something sexy about a man with a plan – and little to no concern for your age”
I can’t say I’m a big fan of men who persist in the face of a woman’s refusal. Too many can’t read between the lines and understand when no is not, I have some valid concerns about this relationship, and hell no. You need to move the f on, buddy. Note, I’m not talking about sex here. Continue reading “There’s a careful/not creepy difference between no means f no, and maybe you could convince me”
I love a forthright man. There’s something terribly sexy about a man who lays his cards on the table: Here it is, love it or leave it, honey. But pretty please love it! Le sigh. It’s like, ok, daddy. I will, I do! I suspect that’s why my dating life is strictly fictional LOL. In … Continue reading A Taste of Life Dating a K-pop Idol? A Hassle, Yes. Enough? Not On Your Music Loving Life
Korean K-pop idols are special. They’re usually talented, gorgeous, their lives are extremely regulated and regimented, and they’re often not allowed to date until they’re older and more established. Even then, it’s not uncommon for a girlfriend or boyfriend to go over very badly with their fans. It spoils the illusion that the idol lives only for them. Many choose to hide their relationships, which comes with its own risks and angst. Continue reading “You’re an Idol. You Date Me, There Will Be Problems”
I’m a super practical person. Which would seem to be at odds with my love for romantic things, but for me, intermingling the two makes perfect sense. If a man really wants to build a great relationship with you, he should think of the practical. After all, getting those necessary things out of the way leaves the field clear for all the loving and other non essential essentials, if you know what I mean. Continue reading “Practicality and lovemaking, always the two shall mix”
Guess what? I just got back from Seoul! Yup. I actually went to the place featured in my upcoming series. I’ve wanted to go for a while now, but I’m not a frequent traveler, and it’s not exactly around the way. But I enjoyed the trip. Korean Air was the best airlines experience I’ve ever had, and I was super prepared: compression socks, neck pillow, wet wipes, face mist, face towelettes, I was ready! Continue reading “Back story, research trips, and my visit to Seoul, South Korea”
I’ve always loved romance novels. Like, literally always, LOL. I’ve been reading them since before I fully understood what was happening in the love scenes.
I started reading Harlequin Presents. You’ve probably seen one or two of those old school white paperbacks with the circle in the middle bearing the hero and heroine’s picture? Those formula romance tales cemented my love for a good romantic tale. But in order for the story to resonate, the characters have to be fully formed. They can’t just fuck.
