Coming Attraction:
\nPart I of the Public Attraction Trilogy<\/small>
\n<\/a>by\u00a0Sophia Moore<\/a>

I know that\u00a0EL James<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sylvia Day<\/a>\u00a0have their critics, but they obviously mean a lot to their readers. Everything else aside, they took contemporary romance to a new level. Their writing ditched gauzy censored love for contemporary realism, or as real as a 20-something billionaire can be, anyway. I owe them a lot for helping me see the possibilities. In\u00a0Public Attraction<\/a>, my movie star lead Paul Thatcher has a lot in common with wounded heroes like Christian Grey or Gabriel Emerson. And Emma, a girl who’s scared to live her life, is an equally vulnerable heroine.<\/p>\n

But I was also inspired by\u00a0Pride and Prejudice<\/a>. For me, romance isn’t just about sex. It’s about the characters. The friendship between Emma and Jessie, the two female leads, reminds me of the nuanced companionship in\u00a0Jane Austen’s<\/a>work. My love of her books is driven by the vivid, flawed people they are about. I would never compare myself to Jane, but I love her so much that she has to be an inspiration! Hopefully, I can make that clearer in future books that still have some hot scenes.<\/p>\n

That may seem like a lot for a girl who’s written a sexy, fun romance with a little kink. But inspiration comes from a lot of places, and hopefully it helps you inspire others, too!<\/p>\n
