Making People Happy IS an Important Issue

Recently, an author I respect and follow on Twitter posted about important issues that she wrote about in her romances. Other novelists immediately chimed in with their contributions. My immediate thought was, ‘Hold your horses. Isn’t writing about human relationships important enough? Isn’t writing to make your reader happy sufficient for your book to be considered important?’ I know literary cri Read more of this blog post »

“Well, talking to me isn’t going to get you any closer to dating him. At least we’re going to be in a quaint, romantic place this weekend. Ask him to take a walk in the forest. Or ask him to go antiquing. Maybe he likes old furniture.' Jeremy shrugged.

Georgie gave him a doubting look. 'Yes, because there’s nothing more romantic than looking at used chairs.”
Chessela Helm, Chasing the Angel

“She grabbed her phone and texted her were friend.

Philippa: Do weres have sex in animal form?

Georgie: Sure, Rashid and I had some wolf on hyena loving last night.

Philippa: Really?

Georgie: No, you twat. That’s called bestiality.”
Chessela Helm

“Though it seemed stupid to believe he might be falling in love with her, he could think of no other way to describe things. They’d only known each other a week, but she definitely made him lose rational thought. He’d begun experiencing new and intoxicating emotions. Maybe it wasn’t love, but it was definitely something.”
Chessela Helm, The Runaround: Finding the Faerie

“She grabbed her phone and texted her were friend.

Philippa: Do weres have sex in animal form?

Georgie: Sure, Rashid and I had some wolf on hyena loving last night.

Philippa: Really?

Georgie: No, you twat. That’s called bestiality.”
Chessela Helm

“We vampires are just so sick of misinformation. We’re not undead. We don’t have a problem with sunlight. Or garlic. Or silver and crosses and holy water. The only thing we have a problem with is eating”
Chessela Helm, The Runaround: Finding the Faerie

“Now this is a feeling I could get used to. A beautiful girl draped across my thighs and a better high than any drug could provide. Tell me – when people start having sex with vampires, why would they ever stop?”
Chessela Helm, The Runaround: Finding the Faerie

“It can be sweet and tender sometimes, and then other times we’ll be coming like a freight train. Every mood means a different way of having sex, and I want to experience all of them with you.”
Chessela Helm, The Runaround: Finding the Faerie

“Good. Because there are times I just need to be in your pussy, and I need to make it fast and hard,' he said.

'How do I know it’s one of those times?' asked Philippa.

'If you’re wearing something that shows off as much of your legs as you did today, it’s going to be one of those times. If you kiss me back like you did today, it’s going to be one of those times. If you wrap your legs around my butt and hold tight, it’s definitely going to be one of those times.”
