Read this review on Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Novels.
Sassy American heiress meets high-in-the-instep English earl.
Sassy American heiress immediately rubs high-in-the-instep English earl the wrong way.
Priceless. :-)

Read Dave Pollard's excellent item, "The Romance Novel: Literature of Liberation", on his How to Save the World blog.
Great point:
>>>
The livelihood of some of the world's most critically-acclaimed (mostly male) authors depends on the revenue base generated from the sale of the remarkably diverse genre called 'romance', written by and bought overwhelmingly by women.

I'm writing a Regency romance, and getting out of the mindset of the 21st century and into the 19th is a challenge. Images help.
Try it. Go to the Images search on Google, or the search engine of your choice, and type in your query. This image came up when I searched on "Regency lady". Click this link to see it in its original context.
You can do a lot with image searches: find house plans, scout locations, etc. Just don't spend too much time on it when you could be writing. ;-)

I've started writing romance again, after a hiatus of 20 years. In my research on what's new and where it's available, I discovered Siren Books.
Siren Books calls itself "Australia's Online Romance Bookstore".
I placed an order a few days ago. Buying online is easier for me than travelling to Sydney, and then hauling a stack of books home. I'll let you know what their service is like. :-)
If you're in Australia, and have a favourite bookstore, online or off, please let me know. (Use the Comments facility at the end of this post.)
