I was supposed to be a mystery writer, dammit! But... when you start a book from a self-assigned writing exercise, and it's based on a personal fantasy (Oh, that man is soooooo hot, much deserving of a fantasy or sixty), and when the characters hijack your brain and make you write their story, you can call it "romantic suspense" if you want, trying to make it a "mystery," but it's still a romance. Plus, I couldn't keep those two out of bed. So. Turns out my romantic heart, my belief in love at first sight, a thing for hot guys with tattoos, and a seriously smutty mind meant I couldn't be anything but a romance writer. But my next book will be a mystery. Maybe. With lots of sex. (Damn. It's going to be a romance too, isn't it?)Lori Whitwamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013817294475798371noreply@blogger.com
