Tantalizing Tropes – A Guest Post by Amber Lloyd (@sinfulpress)

By Leave a Comment

There is a trope in erotic novels of the billionaire and the naive maiden that is so prevalent it’s almost cliché. I’m afraid I succumbed to its magnetic attraction when I created the character Steve in my book House Mother. Steve is not only rich, but he is also imbued with one of the other famous tropes in erotic novels, Steve is a mystery to be solved by the main female character.

The reason these tropes exist is that they are easy to write and fun to read. We all want to meet the guy who can buy us the world or take us away from our ordinary life with the wave of his hand. It’s why we read this stuff, to be lost in the adventure of a different life than the one we live each day. It’s escapism and it creates a chemical response in our brain that makes us feel different, more alive or maybe more excited than we were before we immersed ourselves in the author’s fantasy world.

Kick Out The Morning Blues – A Guest Post by A P von K’Ory

The expression waking up on the wrong foot or on the wrong side of the bed, to me as a writer, tends to rule my writing day. Right up to and including the infamous “block”. If my morning starts off well, I’m relaxed and can keep writing as if it’s tea and scones guaranteed not to offer me a single ounce to the waistline. But when things start off screwed – such as being unable to find the right dress for that lecture to sociology students – I might spend the rest of the day in the doldrums. Of course there are those hassles I can’t skirt around. So I grab some pick-me-ups I’ve learnt from life and the experts. I list them below. One or all of them can turn your day into a sunny one, despite work and weather.

Entitled – A Guest Post by EJ Russell (@ej_russell) #giveaway

A decade and a half before Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Diane Duane started her Young Wizards series with So You Want to Be a Wizard. I think I discovered it because—even though I was already an adult—I loved middle grade and YA books about the possible intersection of the mundane and the fantastic. (Diana Wynne Jones, the true master of this kind of story, remains one of my favorite authors to this day.)

In Praise of Everywoman – A Guest Post by Tony Fyler (@FylerWrites @sinfulpress)

‘Be aware that this anthology will be marketed to a wide female readership,’ it said in the submission call for Sinful Pleasures.

As a line, it looks innocuous.

As a reality, it’s about as innocuous as a bear pit.

‘A wide female readership.’

So – something that will appeal to lots of different women? Or something that will appeal to some women, and hope that the whole rest of womankind is covered by the other authors?
