I know. You’re getting sick of hearing that.
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.
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.”

Thank you, Valerie!!
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!!
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:.
