The first tale of romance and conflict I read was Romeo and Juliet. A literary classic I've re-read many times since. Each page allowed me to vicariously visit the glorious Verona and experience the rising conflict dealt the passionate pair by Shakespeare. While I don't write tragedies, The Bard's mastery of language, dramatic structure and prose always provides an excellent lesson in creativity and craft.

When I first started writing romance fiction, I completed three historical romances, all of which were erotic in tone. Two of these novels are published, the third remains a work I tweak from time to time when the writing schedule permits.This weekend I'm celebrating a new book contract for the historical erotic romance novel I sold to Ellora's Cave. What made this novel sale even more special was the fact it occured during Mardi Gras Week, and my romantic tale is set in New Orleans.

For those who enjoy vampires, paranormal elements and believe love can solve many problems, this story will satisfy on all counts. Readers, what do you enjoy about erotic historical romances? The trip back in time? The setting details? The richness and authenticity of dialogue? Whether you're sipping a mug of cafe au lait or enjoying a decadent beignet, share your thoughts and let those good times roll! 

 

Feel the heat in erotic historical romances,

Congratulations, Shawna! I like erotic historicals that have a real feeling of being immersed in the time, with a realistic scenario for that time period (other than paranormal elements, of course).

Hi, Heather!

Thanks for celebrating with me. I'm still smiling :)

Like you, I love being transported to a bygone era when I read romances. All historical time periods make for enjoyable reading IMO.

Major congratulations on your novels with Cerridwen Press!

Best wishes for continued success,

Hi Shawna,

Congratulations on the contract. I love historicals, its the genre I first started reading and the first i started to write. *g* Paranormals soon had my attention, too.
And you are right it is neat to be transported somewhere back in time when you read. New Orleans has always been a romantic and otherwordly setting. So this book definetly sounds intriguing!
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roule!!

Hi, Mari!

Many thanks for your congratulations and for sharing your love of historicals :) New Orleans has always been my favorite get-away. No matter how many times one visits The Big Easy, there's always something new to see and explore!

Happy week wishes,

Shawna

P.S. I love the cover of CANDY CRAVINGS!
