I know that I wouldn’t be the writer I am now without the many lessons I’ve learned. Each word I type takes me to a new place. Every day I pray that each mistake I make along the way helps each next word I type come out better than the last. I can see it, but the road is long and ever-changing, and I must change with it. I’ve also seen what I write change–a little “more” with each one. This story of Lulu has taken me far from my comfort zone, but I’ve been encouraged to do it. ‘Kick it up a notch’ was the challenge. I hope I did it well. I hope that my steps into “more” are done in a way that you feel the story. That’s always the biggest thing to me–that you feel the story. It isn’t just about sex, it’s about the feelings and emotions. It’s about the people in the story, and what they’re going through and what they’re experiencing at the time when intimacy occurs. I hope you feel that. Readers and friends ask me where the ideas come from.
