I wrote my first novel without much feedback except for somebody in Alaska saying there wasn’t enough sex and profanity in it and the occasional complaint about typos (Those folks are all over here now, it seems. LOL)

When I wrote my third novel of the series in West Texas and a real old-fashioned cowboy called me crying about the demise of a central character, it dawned on me that eliciting emotion was the key to a successful novel, and it didn’t seem to matter if they raged, laughed, cried, or threw up, folks liked to be pulled into the story.

I burned out after my seventh and conclusion of the series, except for one ministry how-to a few years back, but I still get inquiries about those books.

I'm not doing any sex scenes. I get enough sex in real life. 😁
