My Writing Style

My style of writing is suffused with the easy elegance of a professional romance screenplay. The storylines move gracefully along and are peppered generously with literary devices throughout to delight the eye and enrich the reading experience. All in all, a reader should get the sense they are watching a well-directed movie as their mind is enticed to wrap itself around the dialogue and the flow of thoughts and actions from page to page, lured to keep going due to curiosity if not anxiety to know what happens next.

I waste no time on unnecessary words. The way the characters communicate, their actions, their internal monologues are all designed to move the overall plot and storyline along a well-woven tapestry of sub-plots and sub-stories. The dialogue is succinct and meaningful. Just as in scripts, it gets to the point, sparing the reader from silly distractions.

I chose the page count for all my books to lie between 370 and 420. In my opinion, novels can certainly be shorter than that and still be satisfying; however, many longer ones tend to be repetitive or bulky, able to be broken down into separate manuscripts that deal with themes that can stand on their own. My books reflect this. They are like distinctly exquisite gourmet meals, not a hodgepodge of smorgasbord entries meant only to fill the gut.

The first novel The Last Solo Roller leads effortlessly into the first sequel The Right & Left Hands of Love, and so on through the fourth. They resemble the steps of a dance pattern. I don't encourage reading them out of sequence, just as one does not dance this way, since I introduce characters in a timely fashion--only when their roles contribute to the seamless story development. Also, I employ nonlinear narrative, blending backstory into the current situations. This might lead to confusion on a reader's part if they were to cheat. ;o)

When the reader reaches the end of The Last Solo Roller, they will be treated to a preview of my personal portrayal of erotic romance. The scene requires graphic description unlike that incorporated in earlier instances of the prostitute-client interaction. It is the epitome of how I consider deep love is expressed during sex. I'll touch on this in another post.

Finally, Kahlil Gibran, the Lebanese-American writer and poet of the early twentieth century, inspired all my sequels. This topic is to be developed further as well in another post. A simple paragraph could not do it justice.

Thank you for reading. Namaste!
