Liz Adams
A Reference Guide for Writing Intimate Lovemaking
Naughty Nouns in Historical Romance: Synonyms to Spice Up Your Steamy Scenes is not just for romance authors. You have a scene where your characters decide to get down and dirty but you don't want the lovemaking to sound like a gynecological or prostate exam? Afraid that your euphemisms will make your scenes too laughable to be taken seriously? What if you use terms that weren't used at the time period that your story takes place? This thesaurus puts your worries at ease.
"Should be in every author's toolbox!"A perfect resource for historical romance writers, this book is your go-to guide to determine whether grabbing hold of his “length” fits the time period of your Regency romance. Which terms did they use back then? Discover the historically accurate terms that set the mood just right. The synonyms include all the absurd British slang from the Medieval Period to Regency and Victorian and Edwardian Periods to Contemporary times. This thesaurus includes tips on how to use explicit words to incite excitement instead of sounding like an anatomical textbook.
Who this book is not for: This thesaurus is not for writers of sweet romance nor any genre that doesn’t include scenes of physical intimacy. Also, profanity and naughty words coat the pages, including words that can sound aggressive and negative. If such language may upset you, this is not the book for you.
