    Give me a good hook and I am there.

    I love the whole two people trapped in a cabin theme.Beauty and the Beast, and I do like Taming of the Shrew. Redemption plots. Mistaken identity.

    I like emotional rollar coasters but do not like the sort of  miserable memiors.

    And as I am her cp, can I say that I did enjoy Falling for Mr Dark and Dangerous, but I think it is almost more of a Super than a Romance.

     Michelle S who should be doing revisions...

    Thank you so much. I am tremendously excited about it and the scheme. Libraries have always been an important part of my life. It is great to have an opportunity to promote reading.

    Natasha Oakley and Louise Allen are also involved as WIR this year.

  • Music and books

    It depends on the author.

    Some make whole soundtracks. Others play certain songs.

    I tend to work without music but when I am taking a break, particularly when I am revising, certain songs get played again and agin, driving my children mad. They a re different for each book which I think saves me.

    But to answer your question -- not mad, just an author.

    I just saw this. If you ask your questions on the Love Historical Style thread, you stand a better chance of getting the answers.

    I always do handwritten ones. It is no biggie.

    What they buy is the story and not the packaging.

    Hope this helps

    Michelle S who usedto forget to put  *requested material* on but they were looking out for it.

  • RWR etc

    Jayne --

    Iti s in the news section of both online and the print versions of the RWR. The RWA enotes have also just been sent out with a link to the Fox Business article on Harlequin 2.0

    Have you thought of making a list, doing something for the person who reaches the 10,000 book read? Nothing big, maybe their name with the 10k crown on the home page. Something to glavanise the competitors as it were.

    FWIW

    Michelle S, thinking aloud.

  • There you go Jayne

    You have reached 7k. My Raintree Sanctuary blog was number 7,000. So hopefully it will gain momentum from here on out. I just have to remember to blog about  the books I read.
