It isn't sexy as far as I am concerned. <br /><br />Someone who read the novel before it was published looked at me quite shocked when we were discussing the 'love' and 'sex' scenes; the novel is, after all, about the resurrection of a fertility goddess, so if readers are expecting recipes for jam doughnuts they'll be in for an interesting time. <br /><br />"But you don't *actually* describe..." <br /><br />Of course not; the reader's imagination is, or should be, far more potent than I can deliver. I just point them in the right direction, so to speak (ahem...) I strongly believe that reading is not a passive exercise.<br /><br />If you call into www.lindaacaster.co.uk (or .com) you'll find the opening sequence as an excerpt.<br /><br />Thanks for calling by.<br /><br />LindaLinda Acasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096791092366530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678104437380904243.post-86772913065685574272009-12-01T10:18:22.664-08:002009-12-01T10:18:22.664-08:00Great excerpt.

Originally "Torc of Moonlight" was a stand-alone, but while explaining to a foreign visitor in the crypt of York Minster why we Brits throw coins into any pool of water, I had the sort of visitation by the muse that every writer dreams of. And the follow-up novel dropped into my arms almost in its entirety.<br /><br />And so the short answer is - you bet!Linda Acasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096791092366530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678104437380904243.post-67903679139874349482009-12-01T08:28:16.872-08:002009-12-01T08:28:16.872-08:00Hi to both Lindas!
