My partner has told me some horror stories from his visits to the vet centers.Gennitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560547131612743465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-18938646352127673182011-12-01T09:08:42.580-05:002011-12-01T09:08:42.580-05:00Imp, Alund,

The non-mention about the cause for which it was written made me comment. Otherwise, eh. They don't snark as good as I did in my heyday :).Gennitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560547131612743465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-37698717458263600152011-12-01T09:06:51.047-05:002011-12-01T09:06:51.047-05:00Vince, I feel that way too but nonetheless, there ...Vince, I feel that way too but nonetheless, there are many whom you'd think would be much more tolerant (because they preach that so well...ahemOprahahem) who will straight out say really dismissive things about the entire genre without ever having read one recent book from it.Gennitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560547131612743465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-54256140052518282152011-11-29T23:07:51.303-05:002011-11-29T23:07:51.303-05:00There's an article in Time Magazine(Dec 5) tit...There's an article in Time Magazine(Dec 5) titled Veteran Affairs - For romance readers, a hard man is good to find. Seal of My Dreams is mentioned, along with other military romances - doesn't make fun of the romance genre either.MaryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823139079553504658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-46011800734397604082011-11-29T19:48:12.757-05:002011-11-29T19:48:12.757-05:00You would think that having a group of successful ...You would think that having a group of successful writers donating their time, talent and effort on behalf of a charity would provoke a little charity on everyone else's part. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it is more time worthy, and generates more publicity, to make fun of others and/or put them down. Very sad indeed. <br /><br />I can say that the stories in SEAL of my Dreams were, for the most part, heartwarming. If, in addition, you factor in the totally rocking cover (worth the price of the book in and of itself) and the fact that it is for charity, you have a number one winner, regardless of what "others" might say.alundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293057921198218905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-31701103918717322682011-11-29T12:35:08.234-05:002011-11-29T12:35:08.234-05:00She pissed me off.

You may not care for a particular genre, but that doesn't mean there isn't quality writing in that genre.<br /><br />I'll admit that I don't care for the so-called "classic" romance novels. But today's romance novels (at least the good ones) have great, complex characters and often include elements of action, suspense, science fiction, mystery, and other genres as well.<br /><br />I think what you and the other writers have done/are doing is awesome.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.com
