Being a Romance Author Is Cool

Phyl sent me this picture last week and I meant to blog about it. She said
I've passed this truck a couple of times on the freeway and today saw it parked out in front of Hobby Lobby and managed to snap a picture with my phone camera. It's an ad for a number of local housing developments called Lifestyle Communities which are designed for younger, first-time home buyers. Their ads are meant to appeal to hip, upwardly mobile people. I saw this and thought, it's chic to be an aspiring romance author.
Very cool, no? Thanks Phyl.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Being a romance novelist has gotten me featured on several campus publications. I mean I was always a good student, but good students are a dime a dozen, apparently. :-) But a good student who has sold romance novels, well, let’s interview her! :-)
