Then I also follow the misadventures of Lady Sybil with her Italian painter lover. There's plenty going on in this novella!<br /><br />Blodeuedd--You'll have to read the book to find out who Lady Darvish ends up with, but whoever he is, he will answer to "Bert." <br /><br />I have tried romantic suspense and my new agent, whom I trust, has informed me my manuscript is neither romantic nor suspenseful. So looks like I'll stick with historical for now. With each sub-genre, there is a whole new palette of reader expectations to meet. Galen Foley says it's best to try to master one. I think she may be right.<br /><br />Jane--I think I answered your question above.

That would have required much more coordination than any of us might have been comfortable with. <br /><br />For example, what if I didn't describe Jennifer's hero correctly? Or suppose I decided my heroine should spill her drink on an important someone in another tale? It could interfere with the story arc of the others. <br /><br />So, it's a big party and they don't bump into each other. And since my heroine isn't supposed to be there anyway, she probably wouldn't know them if she did spill that drink!<br /><br />Good question, Etirv. Honestly, I'm not wild about vampires. I know this places me in a very small minority, but there it is. I just don't get why having someone want to suck my blood out might be sexy. <br /><br />I read the TWILIGHT series hoping to figure out the draw. I concede that Edward is attractive--he's such a courtly "old soul" in a hot forever-young body.But when he tells Bella she's his "personal brand of heroine" and she's like "Cool. Let's hang out," I just totally don't get HER! <br /><br />I would be running as fast as I can.EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-13504064531089065752009-06-17T13:35:31.676-04:002009-06-17T13:35:31.676-04:00I look forward to the release of "A Christmas...I look forward to the release of "A Christmas Ball."
