Hon, I second that! Your work must feels right for you, if you know there is a market for your book without the sex scenes and it is the market you wrote the book for- well, there's your answer! Helen was told to write Sea Witch for teenagers but it wasnt right! Jesamiah is a full-blooded pirate with all that entails! When she re-did it as an adult novel, the book sprung to vibrant and wonderful life.

So, follow your own star and I really hope Jordy's adventures does brilliantly!

Well, it HAS been awhile since I've known a man in the Biblical sense, but if any volunteers for research come forward.... LOL

Anyway, I'm more comfortable writing those scenes now than I was when I started writing the novel, but I don't know if I want to put those characters in that situation. It's a sweet book, the way it is, but it might not be what Christian publishers are looking for either.

Exactly! You know who you are writing for! So dont mess it about now.... Changing it now would be like writing about my vamps with no fangs! (calm down, Jaz...I have no intention of changing one hair of your beautiful head, let alone those fangs!)

Someone gave me some great ideas today for punching up the sub-plot action which I can't wait to incorporate, but still, I'm not sure if Christian publishing houses will go for my style of writing - while I completely avoided any undressing and intercourse, the kissing might be too passionate for that market. In one scene I have the minister throwing a bucket of water on the couple to cool them off!
