True Confessions Blog Hop

About this Hop

Welcome to the True Confessions Blog Hop, where authors of the newly released book, Losing It: A Collection of V-Cards, get to embarrass themselves for your enjoyment. That’s right. We’re all confessing to some really funny stuff and giving things away to some lucky onlookers.

Confession: The most awkward part of writing my Losing It scene was when…

I gave it to my husband to read.

He’s my content editor. It’s natural that he read it. And it’s not like sex is, you know, foreign to us married people. Still, I was so worried he would hate it. This was something totally different from anything I’ve ever written before. I was worried he’d think it was terrible.

And he did. (sigh)

In all fairness, I’m a chick writing about a man losing his virginity. It’s not like I have experience with that. I’ve never been a dude. So I can see how some of my… erm… descriptions wouldn’t quite gel.

Thankfully, my husband and I had an hour-long convo about what it’s like for a man to lose his virginity.

If you just cringed, yes. It was a little weird. But at the same time, it was fascinating. I got to hear about something I never really thought about before, and I enjoyed hearing about how a man’s perspective on sex differs from a woman’s. It’s not really something we talk about everyday as a couple or as an industry (except you erotica folks; you have this sex thing down to a formula).

In the end, I’m glad he wasn’t a fan of my first draft. With his input, I both learned a new perspective AND wrote a killer scene. Now, I’m tickled pink with the story and love it. I hope you do, too. And gentlemen, I hope you can relate to Braeden’s adventures. My goal as a writer is to represent my characters with realism and accuracy. I’m sure you’ll let me know if I screw up with that.

Go read the story and let me know what you think. And, while you’re there, check out the 21 other kickass stories in the collection. It may push a few of your boundaries, but I think most readers will actually enjoy this. It’s definitely something different, fresh, and a little risque.

Which was your favorite story? (Aside from MINE, obviously. Haha!)
