But if one or both have unusual powers, or better yet, if one isn't human, we want to see exactly how they make love. At least, I do. I feel a bit cheated if an alien-human romance that includes physical consummation leaves out the details.Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-1156127998244202952006-08-20T22:39:00.000-04:002006-08-20T22:39:00.000-04:00You definitely have a wicked sense of humor, Rowen...You definitely have a wicked sense of humor, Rowena, and it shows not only in your 'average' scenes (though is there really ever an average scene by Rowena Cherry?) but in your intimate scenes. <BR/><BR/>While sex or love scenes can be endearing, dramatic, breathtaking... sometimes they're even better if they're more real. Less breathtaking. More giggle-taking. AND they can be just as riveting, I think. Passion doesn't always have to be perfect to work.<BR/><BR/>When you're dealing with two people getting intimate and their cultural differences traverse not just a planetary scale but a galactic one...it's even more fun.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I do like the verbal miscommunications. As people get tired of hearing me say, not everyone in the galaxy speaks English.<BR/><BR/>Or as Commander Jorie Mikkalah in my upcoming THE DOWN HOME ZOMBIE BLUES muses:<I> It would be too much to ask, she supposed, that the entire universe be civilized enough—and considerate enough—to speak Alarsh.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm going to be playing with that very issue that you raise in your postscript in BLUES, when Jorie teams up with a Florida homicide detective.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, you'll enjoy BLUES (Bantam Spectra 2007) as much as I love your FORCED MATE, and you can yell at me (as I did, you) for keeping you awake into the wee hours, reading and giggling...in bed. Because of a book.<BR/><BR/>~LinneaLinnea Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633057411107208569noreply@blogger.com
