With or without loincloth and with some wildlife looking on, I'm sure. heh.<BR/><BR/>Ranger Buddy is going to need someone to TYPE his papers<BR/><BR/>********<BR/><BR/>Sarah,<BR/><BR/>You'll be surprised at how many romance readers are clicking to his website to look at his pic too.<BR/><BR/>*********<BR/><BR/>Lauren,<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I'll overlook this once. I think much of what he said is out of ignorance of the genre and probably without much forethought that he was going to have a million romance readers hanging on to his every words. I hope one day he'll change his mind, that not all romance books are the same, and not all romance readers are horny and looking for "the next nipple." (Nipple???! I didn't know I was into nipples...)<BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Booklady,<BR/>Yeah, his remarks on the genre was very disparaging. But what does he know, he's a ferret lover. Heh...couldn't resist. <BR/><BR/>******<BR/><BR/>Deb,<BR/>As I've always said to those who ask why I write romance, the romance genre is the most versatile of them all. We encompass historicals, sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, suspense, and every sub-genre in between. We are the writers who dare to have a happy ending. We are the writers who say positive relationships is possible. Lastly, what's wrong with a few nipples? ;-)Gennitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560547131612743465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-84744604944982730972008-01-16T22:43:00.000-05:002008-01-16T22:43:00.000-05:00Cute, yes.

But I wish people would actually pick up a romance novel and read it before they decided to use the outdated descriptions such as trashy or bodice rippers. <BR/><BR/>People used to make fun of the fact that I love to read them, but I always told them I learned a lot of historical info, and developed my interest in history, from reading romances. I can answer some pretty obscure questions because I read romances. This was the genre that lead me to my ultimate loving of books and my desire to be a writer.<BR/><BR/>DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-42407317030865786502008-01-16T21:31:00.000-05:002008-01-16T21:31:00.000-05:00Pardon my language, but how the hell would he know...Pardon my language, but how the hell would he know what a romance novel is like, and that this fits "standard romance novel shlock" when I'm pretty sure it's the first (and only) romance novel he's ever read. How nice of him to dismiss an entire genre based on the work of a woman who stole writing from him.
