Taking a break from my usual focus on politics and language, I thought I'd talk about sex, instead.
I've long thought of the combat sequences and the sex sequences in the Rain books, my thriller series about half-American, half-Japanese assassin John Rain, under the common rubric of action scenes. And why not? Storytelling doesn't work without revealing character, and nothing reveals more about a person's character than the way he faces violence or the way she makes love. Interested? I have a bit more to say on the subject today on Lust Bites, a leading blog of literary erotica, along with an excerpt of some of the naughty bits from my new book, Requiem for an Assassin, which goes on sale today. Bet you didn't know I'm secretly a romance writer...
Not sure what time I'll check in, because the tour just started and the pace is grueling, but I'll be back every day between now and Friday. See you then ? and, if you're near one of my tour stops over the course of the next month, stop by! It would be great to see you.
Cheers,
Barry
