All comments are welco...Hi A, thanks for your post! All comments are welcome,even it they come off a little grim.<br /><br />Some of the topics in Uncommon Whore are really difficult and harsh, and my goal was to have my characters prevail over these circumstances. It seems to me that rape and slavery are often used as plot points (especially in m/f romance) to the point that they have become a gimmick. I take this very seriously and don't want to lessen the horror that comes from such acts. As a reader, you should feel uncomfortable with these subjects. <br /><br />In the second book, there is a lot of emotional fallout for all of the characters. To give you an idea of what's going on, Griffin's daughter begins to have nightmares, and Helios' son Alexander tells the men that she'd never had nightmares before. His insight is that now that Helios and Griffin are at home, it's safe for her to have nightmares. <br /><br />I'm glad you took a chance on my book and enjoyed it!

I just finished reading Uncommon Whore, which is actually the first romance I ever read (nothing against them, I usually just read kids fiction). I was browsing for fun and the summary to it just seemed to intrigue me enough that I went ahead and bought it.<br /><br />Actually, slavery, prostitution, rape, etc, are all things that made me feel physically ill and very upset for a while, so I'm not exactly sure why I kept reading your book all the way to the end... or why it didn't bother me at all. I actually really really enjoyed this, and definitely gonna give your other stuff a try, especially the f/f.<br /><br />I really liked Griffin and Helios' dynamic, especially the sex politics stuff you explored in the story. I'm looking forward to the next one, especially if it features Griffin's daughters because they were cute and I wanna see him and Helios be dads.<br /><br />I wasn't having much luck finding your email, so apologies for the long comment in here. I just wanted to tell you how much I liked this, and how you might have started an interest in romance stories in me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525203796883248627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577364854407900138.post-78480829775801204192010-02-11T11:41:36.167-08:002010-02-11T11:41:36.167-08:00Lise, you're embarrassing me!

Uncommon Whore is an e-book and available at Loose Id. I enjoyed your blog...I'm a fairly new fan to LKH so your post on Twitter caught my eye. <br /><br />Sometimes I feel that blogs like this are a little self-indulgent, but for every person writing, there's a different method. This helps me put it out there so I look at it myself.Belinda M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07660503911251781943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577364854407900138.post-21281422631831263112010-02-10T16:40:17.304-08:002010-02-10T16:40:17.304-08:00Hi Belinda!

I am a fan of the erotic, m/m, and sci-fi and you've blended all three of them together in what seems to be an awesome story. =D Have a good one. <br /><br />P.S. See how you've given insite to your writing process for this book? That is what I was ranting about. I love to hear how you as the writer come up with ideas, and putting on a blog, well it makes me appreciate the writer in you more. =Dnettagyrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448257155388422281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577364854407900138.post-4114639651492720162010-02-10T15:07:27.925-08:002010-02-10T15:07:27.925-08:00All I can say is I am in AWE at the depth and brea...All I can say is I am in AWE at the depth and breadth of your creativity!
