Course Description:

So you want to steam up your scenes…

It's all about sex, right? Or is it? Getting there can be equally as exciting and satisfying. Whether it’s a love scene or a sexual tension scene, you want your readers to be invested in your characters, unable to stop turning the pages to find out what happens next. This class will discuss some key ingredients to help make your (love or sexual tension) scenes sizzle, adjusting your comfort level with ‘sexy words’, ideas for inspiration, and ways to overcome inhibitions.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***: Some frank language will be used in sample excerpts for instructional purposes.

About the Instructor:

Born and raised in the Southeast, award-winning author Patrice Michelle gave up her financial calculator for a keyboard and never looked back. Thanks to an open-minded family who taught her that life isn’t as black and white as we’re conditioned to believe, she pens her novels with the belief that various shades of gray are a lot more interesting. She’s a natural with a point-and-shoot camera, likes to fiddle with graphic design and, to the relief of her family, strums her guitar to an audience of one.
Patrice writes sexy, heart-tugging contemporary and paranormal romances for Samhain and Ellora’s Cave and dark, seductive paranormal romances for Harlequin Nocturne.
