First Word

So I got a note from a former male colleague who said the California Girl Chronicles trailer ( click here ) made him blush! You know what is really funny? That trailer only describes a kiss! A kiss not sex! I have to laugh. You see when you write true erotica that isn't so straightforward (think porn), it can be very misleading. The mere suggestion and nothing more than an amazing kiss between two characters and someone blushes over it? I mean, I would maybe blush if it described a sex act. All it really describes are Brea's feelings as she is meeting and kissing the man of her desires. Of course she is turned on -- that's the point. What adds a layer of sexy is the voice-over work provided by the amazing Sonja Fisher. She did an incredible job with voice and inflection to add a richer, deeper level of sexiness and desire. When I heard it, I was astounded. I didn't expect her to go that far. If you have not yet viewed the trailer, please be sure to click above and pass...

And since it is breakfast time here in Chicago, this was their actual breakfast conversation. I don't know whether I'm shocked that they said it all blase or that they discussed it in their booth space ... loudly. Whatever happened to boundaries or just why are we talking about such personal information so out in the open? I am just saying ... totally VW. And here I thought that being a somewhat liberal Californian that I was adventurous and fun. Hmm ... maybe not so much. And these people...

He looked relaxed and had a big, open smile on his face. “I remember you,” I said brightly. “Heard you got the part of Drew. Good for you!” I chirped, admiring this gorgeous, dark-haired man with perfectly muscular arms. “Can you grab a bite with me?” he asked. “I want to pick your brain.” I sat up and looked around my desk. I had nothing pressing, so I st...
