@plants_and_pages: I’m reading From Blood and Ash at the moment and I have spice on the brain. Thing is, even though there are sexual scenes in my novel (several), I wouldn’t describe my book as spicy. I would describe it as intimate. It is less about the hot and sweaty and more about connecting to another person through touch. This is something I worry about a lot with the current market and what my readers may expect from a vampire romance novel, and I hope by talking about it we can open the market to other depictions of sex and intimacy on the page. That’s just my two cents. #frombloodandash #BookTok #writertok #writer #wip #writing #writingabook #vampire #novel #romancenovels #romance #romancebooks #bookrecommendations #books #vampirebooks #fantasy #fantasynovel #newadult #newadultbooks #na #writingblog #reader
