I know, can you imagine? I read stuff!
Marshal over at AmericaReads asked me to give him some insight into what I’m reading right now. I’m sort of stunned and hugely flattered to be included among the other authors he’s invited to be part of his site. What am I reading? Romance, of course:
My reading cravings right now are for shorter-length, character-driven romance narratives with strong, autonomous protagonists and emotion-based tension in a contemporary setting. In one word: Harlequin.
People sniff at Harlequin as “dime store throwaway novels,” or “bodice rippers” – both of which are such inaccurate representations I can’t even begin to argue without my bosoms heaving in indignation. Harlequin, also known as category romance, is an art when it’s done well, and an exercise in abdominal-exercising-hilarity when it’s done silly and awful.
You can read the entire entry, and check out the entry at America Reads: A Campaign for the American Reader. What a cool blog to be a part of!
