A
few
days ago, my fellow author Larry Archer accused me of writing
mindless sex. I have to protest. Yes, my soon-to-be-released tale
More Brides in Vegas
does have a lot of sex, maybe even more than the book whose story it
continues (Hot Bridesin Vegas). However,
it’s anything but mindless.
Like
the previous novella, More Brides is what you might “ensemble
erotica”. There are lots of characters—some familiar from the
previous book and some new—and the story is told from multiple
points of view. And let me tell you, keeping track of all these horny
people—where they are, who they’re with, what they’ve seen, and
what they’ve been doing—demanded a lot of my attention. Each of
the characters has different kinks and interests. There also quite a
few family relationships (but don’t worry, there’s no incest. Not
that I wasn’t tempted...) Maybe some authors of smut wouldn’t
care about consistency, but alas, I do.
So
sometimes as I was writing, even though I was turned on (that’s how
I can judge the story’s quality!), I also had something of a
headache.
The
book is set in a vintage nineteen eighties style motel, like the
Holiday Inns that studded the western U.S. when I was in grad school.
The place is arranged around a courtyard area, with a swimming pool
in the middle, a retractable dome above, and rooms with patios around
the edges. Various scenes take place in different regions of this
space—some in the hotel rooms themselves, but others out in full
view. It was important to consider who could see (and hear) what was
going on at different points in time.
I
couldn’t afford to lose any of the characters, either. I mean, it’s
just plain annoying when a bodacious babe shows up in Chapter 3, gets
down and dirty, and then you never see her again.
Finally,
even though this story really isn’t intended to be serious, I did
want my characters to show some development, mostly as they realize
fantasies they’d never shared or even realized they had. So I
needed a certain symmetry in the sex scenes. Just any old partner and
any old activity wouldn’t do.
In
short, I did a lot of thinking while writing this story. It’s
definitely smut, but I defy anyone to say it was mindless!
More
Brides in Vegas
should be out in early June. Around the same time, Larry will be
publishing his next opus, a full length novel entitled Crashing
a Swinger’s Pajama Party. We
actually started writing that one together, in alternating chapters,
but my constant focus on details and consistency rapidly drove Larry
crazy!
Meanwhile,
if you missed Hot Brides in Vegas, get your copy today, so you’ll have all the juicy
back story clear in your mind when More Brides
hits the shelves!
