I love popping commas into titles. “Painted, Lady,” my latest reader-vote erotica has one, as did “and Falling, Fly” my first novel. I like commas in titles because they let me play with the reader by suggesting a tension between two words that otherwise have an obvious relationship. And that – playing with the reader, tension, and relationships – is why all writing– sci-fi, YA, guest blog posts, whatever – is erotic.
No matter how many readers a story has, or how many characters in the orgy scene, reading is one-on-one. When you read, my words are in your mind. You let me show you things like bubblegum-pink baby hippopotami.
