My dad, on the other hand, loves my books, but skips the naughty bits. He said he tried once, but couldn't do it! lol. I can't blame him. So he skips ahead and picks back up when the plot continues... hehehehe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-57071994118917250832012-09-24T19:57:10.152-07:002012-09-24T19:57:10.152-07:00From "Courting His Favorite Nurse," to &...From "Courting His Favorite Nurse," to "Dr. Tall, Dark & Dangerous?" to "One for the Road," you bring jiggy and classy together into swoon-worthy scenes every single time. Eagerly awaiting "Too Close For Comfort," but, trust me, when it comes to writing , that's the one thing you could never be!

Having said that, I like to think I can get jiggy with it from time to time in my books. My mom used to read my books(she is currentlylike your father)and would say. "I read your books and think, my daughter wrote this." I figured there was a good way and a bad way to take that and chose the good way. :) Like your mother, my mother had had sex a time or two as well. I named a character after her in one of my books, and she was very pleased...<br />Miss you mom!Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-79983768949876495832012-09-24T14:33:55.389-07:002012-09-24T14:33:55.389-07:00There's always option two, which involves me s...There's always option two, which involves me stealing her Kindle when she's not looking.

I thought this post would have something to do with the one year anniversary of the end of the US Military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, which was last week. Instead, it's a post about your discomfort regarding your mother reading your romance novels.<br /><br />I'm frankly a little upset about the whole thing. DADT, an intolerant and exclusionary policy, has not only ruined careers and lives, but has caused patriotic young men and women to hide behind lies, perjuring themselves in order to serve their country. Comparing this to not wanting your mother to read your sex scenes is more than a bit distasteful to me.<br /><br />This is personal to me. I know people who have been forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation and I don't find this kind of comparison humorous or light hearted. It's unfortunate that you do.<br />Sweet Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862242948408650889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-56555210806957302442012-09-24T09:29:15.828-07:002012-09-24T09:29:15.828-07:00Cute!

Then my novella released and she really wanted to read it so for Mother's Day we got her a Nook with my book included on it. :) She said she loved it - what else is she going to say? - but we left it at that.<br /><br />I can't wait to read your book!
