We all remember our mother&#39;s romance books. I&#39;m glad to see things are different now and that the story isn&#39;t just about romance itself.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934917520975402076.post-22973212270386636142010-01-16T03:27:56.141-08:002010-01-16T03:27:56.141-08:00My male characters never turn out to be Alpha males, that&#39;s one of the reasons I don&#39;t write romance - or maybe it&#39;s because in real life, I&#39;m involved with an Alpha male :) <br /><br />I do agree that there are msiperceptions about romance as a genre. A friend who writes historical romance improved my opinion of the genre.<br />Diane GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934917520975402076.post-53668327494667843402010-01-15T14:05:57.792-08:002010-01-15T14:05:57.792-08:00I&#39;m a voracious reader, but I resisted reading and/or writing Romance for many years, precisely because of those misconceptions you talk about. It was Kelley Armstrong&#39;s totally kick-ass and excellent first book, BITTEN, that changed my mind. This is Romance????? Whoooo hooooo!<br /><br />DBR<br /><br />PS Thanks, Angie!D. B.

It just isn&#39;t for me. I have learned, however, to respect the authors even if I&#39;d rather take a pass. You all put in as much work as other authors but --ooh, I guess that&#39;s the misconception I&#39;ve heard--often get treated as if you don&#39;t.An Againhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025716502393219570noreply@blogger.com
