The forecast is in: the future of romance is hot and steamy. But riding the wave to success takes more than stringing together a couple of sex scenes or opening the bedroom door on your traditional romance. In her brand-new "how-to", USA Today bestselling author Angela Knight shares the down and dirty details on writing erotic romances that will keep your readers coming back for more. Passionate Ink (un)covers the erotic novel from conception to completion. Straight talk, no purple prose. First, Angela will show you her useful writing techniques that have made her a successful author. Then, she'll teach you what's hard (besides that!) about making your erotic romance erotic: action, both in and out of bed, the anatomy of a sex scene, eroticism and 'kink', and good dialogue, or talking dirty without sounding dumb. If you want to enjoy the heat, then strip off your inhibitions and take a dip.into Passionate Ink.

Diaappointing:
I only purchase this book because of all the positive reviews. I realize now, they must all have been written by Knight's friends and relatives. It was supposed to be a book about writing sex scenes and erotica, (A guide to writing erotic romance!) and there was very little of that in the book! Instead Knight wrote a general book on all aspects of writing and writing a romance in particular! There are tons of general books out there - I have several and didn't need another one! I feel cheated.more info
This book WORKS!:
All I can say is that this is the best book I've found so far on writing of any kind, not just romance. The techniques here would work for many different types of stories.

***An informative, information packed quick read***:
This book is excellent! It's a fast, interesting read, and filled with useful information.

The areas in this book I found the most useful were the... more info
Well worth the price!:
This is an educational and entertaining guide to writing erotic romance by one of the most successful authors in the field. In fact, it's so good that it prompted my first ever Amazon review! Here's why: There are a lot of great books out there on writing, writing romance, even writing erotic romance (Alison Kent's book, which is excellent, comes to mind.) However, for me, this book was worth the purchase price for Ms. Knight's explanation of manuscript formatting and word count alone. Extremely helpful!
