"I thought your workshop was terrific. You put in a lot of time and effort into the valuable information
you posted for us as well as the critiques. You are a wonderful teacher, Nicole! I would definitely recommend this workshop
to anyone interested in Turning up the Heat in their writing. I have gotten more out of the workshop than I even anticipated."

"Wonderful
workshop! I learned a lot about sexual tension - what it is and how to turn up the tension between my characters by using
all of the senses. There isn't a thing I didn't like about this workshop, except that it only lasted a month. :) Each lesson
was well organized and covered the very topics I hoped to learn more about when I signed up. Your lessons have really inspired
me to work on the scenes I've been avoiding up until now. In a word, your workshop is AWESOME! All of your lessons and excerpts
and your feedback to everyone has really opened up my eyes. I've learned so much and I'm very grateful for the time and effort
you've put into reviewing all our posts. You rock! :)"
Jenna
"Not only have I learned so much from your lessons and comments, but also from the others in the class
and your responses to them. At some point during this course, I realized I was now able to objectively look at my own work
and critique it. Somehow, a switch in my head flipped, and now it all makes sense. I understand how the pieces fit together.
To me, this is such a watershed moment. I learned a ton in this workshop, more than I could have imagined. It’s
easily the most enjoyable and informative workshop I’ve taken."
~Scott
"[The workshop] helped me realize how
deep POV is used to build sexual tension and makes the tension and characters more vivid within the pages. It explained everything
and answered questions that I had as I read and gave me information I didn't even know that I was lacking."

"I

it to my writing friends."

"Your class has been amazingly helpful. Each lesson was a handle-able amount
of information presented clearly. Your willingness to answer questions so thoroughly outside the normal lesson posts was also
helpful. You very wonderfully covered the topic! I think your choices were great, and definitely more information and help
than I expected, so I was totally impressed. Nicole, this it he best online workshop I've ever taken and one of the best workshops
of any sort. Your generosity in critiquing has been incredible, the information valuable and well presented, and the atmosphere
of the class was totally supportive. I will recommend this workshop to anybody looking for something even vaguely related
to the topic. :) You're such a great teacher. Nobody has ever been able to explain what "show don't tell" really means until
you and this class, and it's like this beautiful discovery that has made working on my last scene harder but infinitely more
satisfying. "
Jennifer
"Your comments and suggestions to my work and to everyone else's were very insightful. It
was kind of a revelation to me to see your suggestions for edits that would transform the work--surprising to see how sometimes
a very tiny change could make a huge difference. It stretched my imagination to see so many different people's approaches
to the same premise. Great workshop! I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much in just an online class. Really a great value
too!"
Beth
"I've been able to improve upon one of the areas where I've always struggled. [The exercises] helped
me apply the information and also find areas where I could improve, such as making my love scenes more sensual. I've actually
recommended it to several of my writer friends."
Julie
"It was fun. Very informative but so enjoyable! I've
taken quite a few online classes and this one has been the best! I've learned more in this class than in any other that
I've taken. You are a natural teacher."
Bev
"[The workshop] helped enormously... I've been avoiding writing these
sort of scenes too. Now armed with knowledge and a little confidence, I also feel ready to tackle them."
Janine
“This has been a wonderful
experience! Since this was my first online workshop it will most definitely be the standard by which I measure all others.
Everything was terrific — the lectures, the examples, the visuals, the exercises and especially the critiques. I am
much more confident about writing sexual tension now. I’ve loved this workshop and I’ve learned soooo much. It
more than met my expectations.”
Averil
“I love this workshop. You
have taught me so much. You give more than enough information, plenty of examples. The visuals are great, the subtle
nuances you point out to us, and the difference in eroticism and normal everyday romance are informative. The information
you are giving us, and your answers rival the best of the best. You have a flair for teaching - the gift. Wow, did you
ever soar, Lady Eros!!!!”
Evelyn
“You are perfect for the workshop.
Please keep me informed about future workshops that you are giving. I do want to take them. I learned so very much in this
workshop. You were energetic, fun, terrific in your lessons and always ready to answer questions. I have learned so
much from you in this workshop. I am delighted with everything that you have brought forth as lessons and discussions. I have
learned techniques and what to watch for in writing scenes. Thank you very much. You made me laugh again with your lovely
wit and insight.”
Anne
“You have a gift for teaching
while at the same time boosting self-esteem. It was a pleasure to read your comments. One of the many things I liked about
this class was seeing your editing of submitted writing. I understand/get from examples shown quicker than reading what not
to do.”
Gerri
“You are an awesome instructor!
I can’t wait to take another [workshop] with you. My writing feels much stronger in the sex and sexual tension areas.
:)”
Sheryl
“This workshop was great. I can’t believe this was it’s virgin run.”
Luanna
“I think you have gone above
and beyond for us with this workshop. I put it in the super category because you did the critiques for us. Thank you for taking
the time to do that. You have used great teaching techniques with the visuals, lectures, examples… Thanks for answering
all of my questions.”
