Named and Shamed blog tour - day 8


It's Day 8 of the Named and Shamed blog tour - and thereby hangs a tale! I was originally scheduled to have an excerpt go up on a blog ... which will remain nameless. I had a look at the blog and thought "Hmm. It's very hearts and flowers and romance. Did they actually read the description of Named and Shamed before they volunteered?"

But I sent an excerpt (which is relatively non-explicit and doesn't feature animal-headed fairies AT ALL ... but very menacing), from one of my favourite scenes in the book. And lo and behold, a few days ago the blog cancelled, saying they'd had a "recent policy change" and "were no longer featuring erotica".
*sniggers*

You can read the Excerpt that Got Me Banned over at Lucy Felthouse's place instead!

They asked you? Interesting. Kind of like a car accident... you know its going to happen but its too late to do anything but watch it crunch.

I have a confession. Romance blogs make my eyes hurt. They're all purple and pink or black and whirly and full of fonts and green writing and pictures and screen mayhem and I get websick reading them. I don't know why it seems to be a trend for romance writers.

This is quite a funny story, though :)

Hee hee hee ... yeah, there was no point in getting stressed. Romance and erotica do cross over in some places, but they are not the same thing.
