About Janet

isn't sure if she's an average Romance reader, or even an average reader, but a reader she is, enjoying everything from literary fiction to philosophy to history to poetry. Historical Romance was her first love within the genre, but she's fickle and easily seduced by the promise of a good read. She approaches every book with the same hope: that she will be filled from the inside out with something awesome that she didnʼt know, didnʼt think about, or didnʼt feel until that moment. And she's always looking for the next mind-blowing read, so feel free to share any suggestions!

Tuesday News: Misremembering Harlequin, short story machines, ask an ob/gyn, and the Vulgar Tongue

JanetPublishing Newsdictionary / female sexuality / genre history / Harlequin / publishing machines / sex and romance / short stories2 Comments

In Harlequin’s new Dare series, heroines own their sexuality – In general I’ve found it’s better to ignore some of the most ignorant pieces on the Romance genre – because why get riled up over people who don’t, won’t, and don’t even want to get it? But I made an ... more >
