Nope. A lot of what she wore with the first child could only be defined as skimpy. Less garment somehow = higher price. And somehow it was my fault afterward. Go figure.

Excellent guidance on the most difficult of scenes to convey successfully. Working out a sex scene is as time-consuming and complicated as choreographing a ten-second swordfight for the opera. Follow Patrick's advice and the effort will pay off.

Looks like the troubles are only starting for Kathleen when her abusive husband dies in a drunken car crash. Trading her mansion for a trailer home she channels her energy into investigative reporting to escape feuding relatives, contested wills, and shady land deals, but finds herself plunged into even more drama and intrigue, as colorful as the painted desert in which the action plays out.
