I have been reading romance books for too many years to count. I’ve been married and divorced twice and frankly romance books probably gave me a better idea of romance than either of my marriages. Neither of them were what you would call romantic. I enjoy reading about the emotional bond between two people and the physical dynamics of the characters. I can get drawn into their lives and find myself feeling happy when they get their happily ever after. I love romance books. I will continue to read them as long as I can.

Hm, a plotting pro, huh? I could use one of those!

Before I discovered the romance genre, I was a closeted Disneyphile, trying desperately to cover up my hopeless romanticism with cynicism so I’d fit in with all the other cool kids. I thought I was all alone in my desperate desire for every heroine to meet her prince charming, fall in love and live happily ever after. Once I discovered reading romance, I found a whole new world of people who think just like I do. Hundreds of readers of all walks of life who want their dreaming hours to be filled with stories of hope, happiness and love. I was suddenly free to talk about HEAs in public! I adore the romance genre and wish I had discovered it sooner.

Congrats on the release day!!

All these fabulous comments are making us smile like crazy! Of course, release day is full of general rejoicing~

Colleen (and all) if you don’t win here, you have a bunch of other chances. We’re guest blogging all over the place in November, with multiple drawings to win books. The complete schedule is up at our website http://www.anthealawson.com

Cindy, to answer your question — luckily we have very different writing strengths. Lawson is a plotting pro, and is always pushing story questions and character motivation to the next level. Anthea is fearless about facing the blank page and putting words on it, so the work of writing together ends up going pretty smoothly~ (We talk about our process a bit more in our upcoming interviews, too!)
