What makes a book sexy?

I'm not talking about erotica, per say, but what is the difference between a book you eagerly devour and a book you slum your way through? 

While there are individual exceptions, the most objective difference between a good story and a downright terrible one is simple—it all comes down to the writing.

It's either good writing, and we can forgive the technical flaws a little more easily, or it's bad writing, and bad writing is just bad.

Good writing is more than just good writing. 

Good writing is sexy.

If you're a fiction writer looking to improve your writing skills, this is the perfect, provocative read to encourage you to get down to business and write your story. 


Inside Good Writing is Like Good Sex, you will find:


  • A titillating perspective on the writing process 

  • The secret to why your story is special, and how you can make it sexier

  • Tips on romancing your readers

  • How to write irresistible characters 

  • Basic writing and story concepts with advanced insights

    ... and all in a non-gratuitous fashion with a lot of innuendos.
