Oversexed author.

Yesterday, I got the comment that every married author of Romance gets, I'm sure.

"You and you're husband must get it on all the time, since you write such great romantic scenes!"


Okay. It's time to crush the myth. It's time for the truth to come out.

As much as I love my nerd, and so help me, I do. I really do. He is pretty much the best man in the world, and I would still say that if Arragorn and Edward Cullen really existed. He is a gem. Period. All other women need not apply. I got him. He's mine. Sorry.

Now, that having been said, the above comment isn't exactly true. I mean, we get our groove on as much as the other married couple with four kids, one of which currently has some special needs. Oh, and lest we not forget homework, budgeting, the dog, the messy house, the sleep deprivation, the piles of laundry, and the diapers....

Now. You tell me how often we get freaky deaky.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

There really isn't a whole lot of time left in the day to hang from the chandeliers, if you catch my drift. So when someone reads my books, which are just Romance/Contemporary Women's Fiction, and not even Erotica, and makes the assumption that I am writing all of my love scenes from memory...I'm sorry. You're sadly mistaken.

Now, that having been said, it is nice to have a nerd that I love so much, that I can run into the other room to tackle when and if a particular scene "inspires" me. But do we live out every romantic scene I write about? Sadly, no. For example: I am chubby. In all of my books so far, my heroines have been picked up off of the ground and swept away by the loves of their life. This won't be happening in real life. For starters, I weigh too much. Call the picking up thing a fat girls fantasy...whatever. Also, my hubby is clumsy. I am too! We're known for poking each other in the eye on accident and tripping on each other's feet, conking our heads together, and sniggering to ourselves, and doing other such acts of clumsiness that makes our encounters more like a comedy routine than a romantic interlude.

I write good Romance because I have an excellent imagination.

I just thought I should clear up that misconception. I get that one, in particular, an awful lot. I am not an oversexed Romance Novelist. *Snort* Not hardly.
