I finaled!!!

I know. You’re getting sick of hearing that. :oops:

I entered Ellora’s Cave author Tawny Taylor’s Some Like it Hot Writing Contest. She’s selecting one finalist a week, I’m the finalist for Week 2. I didn’t know. Sasha told me just a few minutes ago. :grin:

You can read the finalist excerpt here. Be forewarned… It is a very steamy excerpt. Tawny wrote, “Congratulations to this week’s finalist, Sylvia Day, author of A Taste of Sin!
This one’s a scorcher! Whew! Enjoy.”
:shock:

    Thank you, Ellen, for your compliment!! I’ve been working on my erotic scenes, they didn’t come easy for me in the beginning, but I’m starting to enjoy them!! :wink:

    Shelby!! If I had 1/10th of the talent you have for emotion, I would be a content writer. Thank you for your compliment and encouragement!!

    Sylvia, this is an AWESOME excerpt. I just sold my first erotic romance, and I gotta tell you, I don’t write erotic scenes anywhere near as well as you do!!! Your writing is great… the scene was so hot it made my eyes pop out of my head :shock:.
