Melissa Carrigee with Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Dance Like You Mean It by Jeanne Skartsiaris

IRVING, Texas - Sept. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- Melissa Carrigee with Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Dance Like You Mean It by Jeanne Skartsiaris!

What if you wrote a steamy, erotic novel that was so hot bookstores couldn’t keep it on their shelves?  What if you couldn’t tell anyone you wrote it?

With a mundane life as a nurse, a husband who is grazing other fields, and a daughter of an impressionable age, Cassie checks her horoscope one morning just for kicks and notices an article about romance novels and how profitable publishing could be if one could spin a good tale.

She pens Wild Rose under a pseudonym and it flies to the top of the charts, is the talk of the town, and people are clamoring to know who the author is.  What would her children think if they knew?  Or her own mother, who ‘taught her better’, and, worse, her husband who’d thought she’d turned back into a virgin since they’d not had sex in so long.  How could she be thrown into the spotlight and still be a good mom?

Wild Rose, Cassie’s caldron of prose, is woven through this story.  Set it the 70s, it is the story of Rosemary, a beautiful photographer who wants to be recognized for her body of work, not her haunting beauty.  Although, a modern women, she is as adventurous sexually as she is with her camera and beds men like candy…until she falls in love.

Both novels parallel each other as Cassie realizes Rosemary is not so different from her.

Skartsiaris studied creative writing at Southern Methodist University and is a member of Romance Writers of America’s local chapter, Dallas Area Romance Writers.  She is currently a sonographer, but was a medical-legal photographer prior to that.
