Take the poll and have your say in the series!
POLL: https://forms.gle/rTqKjorNa1qdGyTL6
As I start working on the fourth novel in the Blood & Ancient Scrolls series, one of the things on my mind is 🌶️
You might joke that that is a topic you'd expect to be on my mind all the time...but these thoughts are pretty serious 🤔
Based on the popularity of authors like Laurell K. Hamilton, I thought that vampire story readers expected a certain amount of spice. And since I can write very good spicy scenes, I made them vital to the plot, and had fun writing all of it. And ever since, it's been a point of pride to me that the loving 🌶️ scenes in my books were as explicit as the brutal violence, and balanced it out well ⚖️
But I'm at the point now where I could change things, if fans of the series have strong feelings on the matter. So if you have read even one book in the series, could you please take a moment to do this short poll (just 7 questions!) and let me know what YOU think, and I will factor that into how I write Book IV and all the following books in the series...
(And: thank you for being such amazing fans and always being so actively participatory in the series. Your caring so passionately about the am'r is what keeps me going!)
