Update on Books
Dear Readers,
As I indicated on my website, there's been some new developments in my writing. Rather than rehash everything I said at marlavendret.com in "upcoming books," I'd just like to give you the highlights.
First: I've completed the first draft of Lakshmi Rising, the Soul Eclipse series.
Second: I'm currently working on Kalika Rising, the sequel. I hadn't intended to immediately launch into it, it just happened. Immediately. Without any deliberate intent on my part. I don't know, does that sound like being possessed? Hmmm.
Third: I'm having so much fun writing this fantasy trilogy that I'm contemplating a change in plans for the Seven Hills of Rome trilogy. Although I enjoy reading romance, I much prefer to write a novel that simply has some romance in it, as opposed to focusing exclusively on the romance. This said, there's a chance this series may become a fantasy series as well. If not, perhaps a drama.
In the meantime, I am happily clicking away on my laptop. Kalika Rising is unlike any other story I've written thus far, due to the gruesome nature of its war between the forces of Kalika and the forces of her erstwhile husband Shiva. Neither recognizes the other, and their demonic advisors are making sure it stays that way. When Lakshmi and Vishnu (from book one) attempt to intervene, the bloodshed becomes much more personal.
Happy reading.

Along the lines of the "first time" experience, not only would she have a "bloody" experience, it would be painful! These scenes in romance novels make the first sexual experience romantic, passionate, and a "fullfilling climatic experience." Who are they kidding! Scarey, awkward and painful is more realistic.
I have to agree that these "virginity" scenes often leave me a bit ill and questioning the differences in "first" experiences.
If I'm feeling charitable towards the "whys" and "wherefores" of these authors, then it's possible these author's had thinner or less sensitive hymens ... I don't know. Thus, their easier experience may influence how they write about it in their books
Who can say?
