Tasteful and Edgy Erotic Romance

Attending the Emerald City Writers' Conference

I'm excited to go to Seattle for the Emerald City Writers' Conference a week from today, Friday the 18th. I'm writing a non-fiction piece for a reputable online news site on erotic romance as a growing genre (if it gets picked up I'll let you know). If anyone out there has an informed opinion on the subject please let me know here or email me at - chloecarsonauthor@gmail.com.

The conference is the biggest regional romance writers' conference on the West Coast. A wonderful erotic romance author, Maya Banks is one of the keynote speakers. 

A friend of mine told me at writers' conferences there's always an illusive secret sex party and I should find it. However, I think the Jammies and Jewels Soiree which goes till 11:30, where prizes are given for the best outfits is as close as it will get considering the vast majority of attendees will be straight women. Ironic that there would be a secret sex party for other genres, but not for the one that has the most sex scenes.

In the meantime I'm finishing up my two short stories to submit for consideration in RWA's anthology, and should be hearing back from a few contests soon.

Comments or suggestions are always welcome.  Sometimes I feel like I'm writing in a vacuum and the question is often very simple - hot or not?
