About the author

I'm a former English and literacy teacher living in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales in England with two rugrats and a rodent. I am a practicing Buddhist and have a regular column at www.meditatelike a girl.com. My practice - and the odd glass of wine - keeps me sane!
I write in a variety of genres, from erotic memoir to historical romance, and spirituality to Young/New Adult, and even the odd bit of poetry. I welcome discussion, feedback and even constructive criticism, as long as its not delivered too harshly, of course.

Suzanne Ruthven : Author and editor of Writer’s Wheel magazine

You’d be wrong to think that ‘Passionate Plots’ was another book on how to write on romantic themes – Kelly Lawrence reveals how to make your writing smoulder on the page. And we’re not talking just about writing erotic fiction because erotic scenes appear in other genres too - westerns, thriller, adventure etc., and ‘Passionate Plots’ could help give authors in those genres that extra bit of spice in their writing. I like Kelly's writing style and she has the right approach in keeping everything down to earth and writer-friendly with plenty of practical writing exercises. It's not easy to write 'sex scenes' and this title will help those writers who aren't very good at it! Recommended.

due to the success of fifty shades this was produced. like other writing books this says, 'show, don't tell.' additionally, consider word usages. make sure intimate moments make sense within the story.
