Earn that Kiss! - Jo Noelle

Hello all! I attended a writing conference in Eagle Mountain, Utah today. It was a fantastic day! Started out with a carpool with fellow writer Emily Daniels and the rest was filled with great authors and presentations. 

First class of the day: Earn that Kiss with the co-authors who write clean romance novels under the pen name Jo Noelle.

Types of Love stories/Relationships

• Love at first sight
• Oops (imbalance of power, often inappropriate - think boss and employee)
• Forbidden love (changes rules of society they are in - think romeo and juliet)
• Love/Hate (tension leads)
• Childhood friends (like a rubber band - they keep coming back to each other, can't stay apart)
• Best Friends/Friends First 
• Rivals (pressure from other friends / try to ignore growing attraction - think High School Musical)
