Don't get your panties in such a twist... and give me back mine.

If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book.

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.

So you've just slept with him, given him your virginity, a man who doesn't love you. In fact, he has odd ideas about you, wants to make you some sort of kinky sex slave.

I've set the bar quite high in terms of storytelling.

I think virgins are far more interesting to write about. If we've been around the block a few times, we know what to expect. Not so with virgins.

My inner goddes has her sequins on and is warming up to dance the rumba.
