Snakes are Not Teh Sexy!

Here’s a cover that totally made me jump out of my fucking chair, rubbing at my skin to keep it from trying to crawl away from my body. FUCKING SNAKES, MAN, they give me the creeps! Why were-snakes, dude? This makes about as much sense as a shape-shifting whale (which, by the way, is not as preposterous an idea as you may think). Snakes aren’t romantic, sexy, sensual… and they eat fuzzy baby mice, damn it! After watching Snakes on a Plane, I had Tim checking under the bed with a flashlight for those goddamn snakes, man. Back to the cover. Oddly enough, this isn’t a bad cover despite the FUCKING SNAKES on it. These bitches always seem to have very nice covers. The snakes look about as real as the CGI snakes in those awful snake movies on the Sci-Fi Channel and believe you me, that’s about as real as they should get, in my opinion. Anyway, the hero of this book is a… were-anaconda. Man, I don’t know whether to applaud the Sisters Price or snicker behind my hand at them. I mean, it’s an awesome, yet horrible idea at the same time. There are the inevitable jokes about homeboy keeping a manaconda in his trousers, but those are cheap shots and I’m not going to make them, thank you. Goddamn snakes!

    Big Tom and I thank you for the plug. In fact, Big Tom would like to express his gratitude by shape-shifting his whale maleness for you.

    The thought of Big Tom’s twenty foot penis disgusts me, yet makes my lady parts tingle at the same time. Those feelings should be made illegal. Damn you and your shape-shifting whale, Darragha.

    I think if Big Tom came up to me and asked me to “make sexy time” with him, I would run the other way.

    You know you want it, Bam.

    Here’s the thing: Big Tom’s Big Whale isn’t whale-sized when he shifts into Mandom. Since he’s a shape-shifter, he’s gonna morph his (oh, my god…I can’t believe I’m typing this…) spermwhale into whatever size/thickness would best please you. Thinking about it, I’m pretty sure he can do the same thing with his tongue.

    All right…enough of this. I’m leaving. You’re making me think naughty thoughts about my character.

    Well Hey… you dont like the cover…

    Eh i dont dig it too much either. After the first one we had (which was very pretty) this one just didnt work for us… I should send you the cover for the books in print… its rather sexy. But trust me, this was the SECOND attempt at this cover, and the first one made the book look like some sci-fi fantasy about a snakeworld… very creepy. So ill take this cover over that one any day, but it is NOTHING like first.

    As for Snakes as sexy… Bam they are. Theres a reason why so many cultures use them as sex gods and in rituals of a sexual nature. And we try not to dwell on the icky snake stuff… lol…

    but thanks for the compliment on the covers Bam… A lot of them i do myself.

    I kind of agree that snakes can be sexy. When I worked as a science specialist at a high school we used to breed various snakes. The mating ritual of a pair of corn snakes was highly erotic. Gorgeous creatures. Cute little babies several weeks later :)

    I am sorry but my snake phobia does not allow to me to find snakes sexy. I just can’t. :(

    Hey Jane thats ok! Personally i dont fine one damn thing sexy about werewolves… i mean they turn into WOLVES which are essentially DOGS. So to that end, they are hairy, smell, and are violent as hell. So theres nothing sexy there from where im standing.

    Snakes, Are sensual, graceful, and are dominant because its what they are. They dont have to fight for supremacy, because they are some of the most feared predators on earth. You dont have to find them sexy, but i will tell you, i have gotten countless emails about how people that didnt like snakes read my books, and now have a different take on how erotic snakes can truly be…

    After witnessing the miracle of corn snake sex (males have two penises!), and the rhythmical, sensual mating dance they do: snakes can be sexy.

    I’ll read the book! Ka-ching! There’s a sale!

    Hey, Stella, that’s a good point. Why do you think werewolves are more “acceptable” in the paranormal romance department, yet people tend to shy away from other were-creatures like snakes? It’s not just the reptile thing. Folks love dragons.
