Isn't it human nature to crave romance, to enjoy the story of two people finding each other? Sometimes it's meant to be, sometimes...not so much.

Just as the the 'case' proves difficult to solve, the hero/heroine seem destined NOT to get together. Readers love the chaos because it makes their own lives look calmer in contrast. Most important: to have fun with our writing and take some risks! Looks like you've got that covered!Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-30429759377724894742017-01-28T10:27:02.855-05:002017-01-28T10:27:02.855-05:00Welcome, Terry.

As Vonnie says, we all write different genres/sub-genres, but the romance flourishes whether the story is sweet or hot or somewhere in between. As I get older, I'm more drawn to the old movies whether the bedroom door is closed. My imagination can provide the details. Best wishes on your series, esp. the new book.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-54285744581769278292017-01-28T09:58:00.542-05:002017-01-28T09:58:00.542-05:00Thank you for being a guest on The Roses today. We...Thank you for being a guest on The Roses today. We also enjoy hearing a fresh voice. Almost all of us are romance writers of one flavor or another. Some of us are mystery writers, too. And one in particular...*cough*...would like to try her hand at mystery or political thriller. I love the premise of your series and your hero. I can see why your readership want him to have a little spice in his relationships. He's a hero in their eyes and every hero needs a heroine.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.com
