TT#8…I think
Since I seem to get a lot of visitors that don’t read romances, how about 13 reasons why you should give them a shot. It’s also February… the month for romance…well, according to the commercials I see on TV. ;o)
- You are guaranteed a happy ending. A romance is the only genre I know I’ll find a romance ending. We won’t go in to the mislabeling/mismarketing of some paranormal women’s fiction type thing that have been promoted as romance.
- You can find some of the most fantastic stories.
- All sorts of subgenres, to appeal to almost every one, inspirational, erotic romance, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, historical romance, even horror romance, although that’s a little harder to find.
- Did I mention the great stories?
- It’s not all about the sex. You can easily buy a romance that doesn’t have any sex at all, or just a little, or the sex all ‘behind the door’ type of thing.
- It’s not all about the hero with the naked chest and piercing gaze, either.
- It’s not about the heroine with the ripped bodice, either. The bodice rippers of the 80s are not indicative of today’s romance.
- There are some SERIOUSLY great stories.
- Most people, even guys, eventually get to the point where they want to meet somebody they can call their own… this is my mate/lover/spouse, whatever, somebody you’ll go home to, laugh with, love with, grieve with…share everything, even the bad stuff, and they will still love you. That’s what a romance is about.
- There are so many romances out there, it’s possible you’ll never have to leave the bookstore empty handed.
- Did I mention the great stories … ;o)
- Romances make up more than half of all books sold every year, so there’s got to be something in them that keeps them selling.
- and last… but not least… I write them. Why don’t you give it a shot?
