Hot or Not
April 29, 2006 This is probably of no interest to anyone but me... but as I have been reading about this plagiarism scandal, I thought about how every time I write a new book, I always check to make sure I haven't plagiarized...myself!For example, when I was writing Sun-Kissed, the third in the Au Pairs series, I was worried that I was reaching for too many of the same phrases I'd used before, like "retail therapy" and "caramel-colored tan". I know, totally frivolous right? But I've noticed that in my writing, I do tend to reach for the same descriptions so I make a concerted effort to make sure each detail in each new book is new one.
But, I mean, how many ways can I describe a hot boy??
Luckily, I got over my foggy mental block about describing hotness, and as you will see, there are three new delicious, gorgeous boys in Sun-Kissed who are hot in totally different ways. Thank god I had so many crushes on people in my youth! Thank Heaven for Hot Boys! xoxo

What if you haven’t had so many crushes on people in your youth? would this change a bit your point of view?
