Trigger Warnings

My Wolves of Rock Falls series falls into the Level 3 (First Shift, Rogue Shift, Sworn Shift, Pack Shift). Several of these do have detailed kissing and fade to black scenes, but only between married couples. My most recent release, Of Flame & Frost, falls into the Level 2 category.

My books are marketed as secular fiction–targeted to the 16-20 crowd with moral (all from a Christian world view) pictures of healthy relationships, integrity, honor, and clear boundaries. Any sexual encounters are off page and between married couples (one man and one woman). Of Flame & Frost has an implied situation of sexual abuse, though it is quickly revealed that nothing happens beyond threats, but it could still make some readers uncomfortable.

Styles:

  • Young Adult
  • Paranormal

Intimacy Levels

Level 1

  • Holding hands/Affectionate touching
  • Compliments/confessing love
  • Low-description kissing
  • Tender embraces/cuddling
  • Blushing and sighing
  • Non-descriptive discussions of sex
  • Established relationships
  • Fade to black if married
  • Any sexual encounters from past only referred to, not described or on-screen

Level 2

  • Touch that signals attraction
  • No touching in underwear zone
  • Long kisses, lightly descriptive
  • Deeper kisses, tongue implied not described
  • Feel warm/flushed
  • Gasping, deep sighs, light growls and groans
  • Thinking/speaking about desire non-descriptive
  • Fade to black for established relationships after a scene that matches this level – but may be unpopular if not married

Level 3

  • Hands moving, still not in underwear zone
  • French kiss with tongue described
  • Make-out sessions still follow guidelines
  • Feel hot, sweating
  • Heavier gasping, groaning, deep growls, panting
  • More frantic and lose some control
  • Male shirt may come off, but nothing else
  • Leg may straddle waist, but no mention of arousal
  • If they lay down together anywhere, use little description of contact/moving
  • May happen in a bedroom or on a bed, but should be interrupted or end with fade to black scene. Keep focus on the emotion.
  • Fade to black should still happen between married couples or at the end of the book between engaged/committed couples.
