Love is in Need of Love Today

I have been looking at my latest manuscript - Love Poems to Aphrodite and I realize that this one needs a total rework, overhaul. My original intention was African-centered and included a different focus. I planned to cover lots of hidden African culture that celebrated love, romance and chivalry but found that many of these traditions did not necessary support women or included goddess inspiration. I think many writers are doing the African-centered angle and wanted to reach further for something that was less likely to be covered in an already marginalized genre. So this is, as most suspected another black goddess subject book but it is focused more on love, romance and the sensual culture inspired directly or indirectly by goddess influence. So that is where I am now tearing down old chapters, ripping them to shreds and adding the framework that supports this new interest. I love the subject of love and so I am anticipating lots of learning and fun with this one. Lots of FUN>
