From discussions of the popularity and market reach of romance novels to written essays explaining the heuristic value of blog commenting communities, Sarah’s media exposure is varied and somewhat spicy. She’d love to speak with you about romance novels and the amazing smart women who read and write them. Why, you’re probably reading a romance right now, and you didn’t even know it.
