Faleena Hopkins
Imagine the sexiest guy of your dreams. Take that up ten notches. Now one more.
Make him a bit of a jerk. Nobody lusts after doormats.
Give him a heart he doesn’t want to share but does want to but doesn’t want to…but does.
Don’t add a bunch of fluff to make your book longer. Each chapter should be as tight as the first.
Every time you get bored, shake it up. It’s your fictional world. You create the rules.
Give your heroine some balls. Women dislike a whiner in life and on the page.
Don’t make the sex scenes ten thousand words long. Nobody really wants it to last all night.
