I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't write as much erotic romance as I used to, but I think that's just because my writing style has changed.
I write edgy, sexy teen romances, and that's what I'll continue to do.
Oh you know, I've been writing a novel.
I certainly want to continue to write in a way that's intimate. I love books where you feel you're having a romance with the writer.
As I continue to write as M. O'Keefe, I find myself following darker story lines. Plots I might have flinched away from I now rush toward. Using sex as a tool to tell women's stories is endlessly fascinating.
I've summarized dozens of books in my literary career; it's become rather second nature.
I certainly want to continue to write in a way that's intimate.
I've been at writing long enough now to know that every three or four books, I have to start a new direction.
You write, hoping to write a good book; that's it.
I'm hoping to get started on a new novel.
