I'll be more careful what I choose to offer up in excerpts next time. I don't believe in gratuitous violence but its hard to avoid mention of some violence in this era. I prefer to then view it from an outsider's perspective rather than first hand. eg Dath's POV of this period in my heroine's life rather than hers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102194337186097539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-70255617011651283282014-11-06T17:29:47.937-05:002014-11-06T17:29:47.937-05:00I chose to use this excerpt because I loved the dr...I chose to use this excerpt because I loved the dramatic statement it made.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772530580061009074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-28617736321114614742014-11-06T17:28:30.527-05:002014-11-06T17:28:30.527-05:00No problem, glad to have you!No problem, glad to have you!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772530580061009074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-55921120379315685682014-11-06T03:12:01.463-05:002014-11-06T03:12:01.463-05:00That scene was designed to illustrate the depths t...That scene was designed to illustrate the depths the heroine had sunk to. I chose excerpts that were pivotal dramatic moments in the book. It probably didn't give the best reflection of the book as a whole. Yeah, there are some unpleasant scenes like the fire and this one but mostly its a romantic adventure story with a HEA. I believe even the worst challenges can be overcome for an eventual HEA. You just have to work for them, harder at sometimes than at others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102194337186097539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-60883922368583302452014-11-06T02:23:27.697-05:002014-11-06T02:23:27.697-05:00Excerpt was unexpected with the blood and cutting....Excerpt was unexpected with the blood and cutting.Jess1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-27337759872473324362014-11-04T07:32:43.636-05:002014-11-04T07:32:43.636-05:00Thanks for hosting!Thanks for hosting!Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265649100510354177.post-84636074497975347872014-11-04T04:39:54.233-05:002014-11-04T04:39:54.233-05:00Thanks for being part of this tour!Thanks for being part of this tour!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102194337186097539noreply@blogger.com
