It’s come to my attention that the chart in EIKAL renders like hot buttered crap in eInk devices. I’m sorry! I have heard it may even display differently depending on the digital format. Again: I SUCK. I really like charts. A LOT.
So! Here: have a PDF chart! EXTRA – What Romance Are You (PDF 52k). Please right click and download.
But wait, there’s more! I know that charts can render oddly for the devices that visually impaired – which probably explains why when I’ve researched opportunities to volunteer and read books aloud, so many list describing scientific charts and diagrams as the most pressing need.
So I’ve recorded myself reading the chart – not very well, but I did what I could. It’s very much Not Professional. But, here’s the mp3: mp3 Audio Chart Explanation (2MB).
It’s just me describing the chart, but if there’s visually impaired readers out there who wanted to know what I was going on about, well, enjoy.
Sorry about the chart and the eInk, y’all. I really, really like charts. I’ll try to break up with them. Soon.

USA Today’s Deirdre Donahue did a Q&A with me that allowed me ample opportunity to address and hopefully correct some of the misconceptions about the romance genre, including facts about the books themselves and the women who read and write them. YAY! The article is online and in the print edition, too. Have a look at a PDF Version of the print interview, if you like (700k)
USA Today also has a fantastic new romance blog headed up by author Joyce Lamb that features interviews, reviews and news about new romance novels, and content from fantastic romance bloggers including Mandi from SmexyBooks and other romance writers. SO AWESOME.
Way to go, USA Today. Thanks for helping us spread the word about how powerful and positive romance can be!

Over in the AV Studio, I have a 1:10 clip of me on The Gayle King Show talking about two key lessons from Everything I Know About Love, I Learned From Romance Novels. Have a look! (I am wearing an astonishing amount of makeup, but it looks pretty good! YAY!)
