I don't know about other writers, but for me every book begins with a question. I write romance and erotic romance, but I am not a big fan of the standard "happy ever after" endings. This is because I kind of feel like I am cheating the reader if the story is too predictable. So I start with a question and by the end of the book the reader will have the answer with an ending that they will enjoy.
For my gothic erotic revenge novella, Bitch, I started with the question "How far would you go for revenge?" I instantly removed the idea of killing, murder and the classic revenge story. I wanted the story to be slightly different so the main character sets out on non-lethal revenge. The idea being she wants her enemies to suffer.
Bitch ended up being a very sexy story about a woman that sets out to destroy the marriage of a woman that made her life hell. The main character uses sex as a weapon to do what needs to be done and get to where she needs to be. It is a hot and sexy story based on the principle of "How far would you go for revenge?"
I wanted to ask a few question.
1. How far would you go for revenge?
2. If you are a writer how do you start your books?
3. Do you feel romance novels have to have a happy ending?
