Well I’m going to have to nix the generic “boy meets girl” blurb for my upcoming erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave, Carnal Moves since my editor really liked the one I submitted last night. 

Want a peek? 

My pleasure:)

Diagnosed with chronic stress disorder, half-demon Gideon Scratch is ordered to take up a hobby. Initially balking at his shrink’s remedy, but faced with an eternity in solitude, Gideon signs up for ballroom dance lessons.
 

Just what the doctor ordered turns into another kind of hell when Gideon is partnered with the curvaceous Macy Beaumont. Avoiding human females for more than a thousand years, her dance moves evoke carnal images of sweaty bodies and tangled sheets. Unable to resist temptation, Gideon thinks a few nights of soul-searing sex will slake his lust for the human female. 

 
Wrong.


But winning Macy’s heart proves to be difficult, when all she wants is sex. Unwilling to be  just another hard body, Gideon sets out to woo her by doing the unthinkable…become her friend.

A good blurb is as essential as a great cover.  So as you can guess, I started to sweat bullets when my editor assigned the task of writing a blurb of 140 words or less for my upcoming release from Ellora’s Cave, Carnal Moves.

If any of you have ever used Twitter, you can understand my pain.  It’s hard enough to write a message of this length and still make sense.  Even harder to convey the entire plot of your book.  On top of that, you have to convince the reader to buy your book. And for an erotic novel, the sexier the better.

If only blurbs could be as easy as this:

Boy meets girl. Boy has hots for girl. Ditto for girl. Boy and girl get it on. Girl discovers boy’s secret while investigating child kidnappings. Girl runs screaming for the hills.

Will the children be home for Christmas? Will boy win girl back?

Or will boy spend eternit…y paying for his sins?

The End
