A question and news
How do you feel about the current fad for authors to crank out multiple novels per year? I notice it most in the romance community but maybe it’s penetrated other genres as well.
Some of my favorite authors are doing this, and I think it’s a pity. To write fast, the books must be shorter and less complex. They’re dessert rather than the entrée. Personally, if I’m hungry for a book, I like a main course rather than a bon-bon.
In the case of historical romances, research sometimes becomes a casualty, as in one recent Regency romance in which someone is wearing a bowler hat. /p>

I wouldn't like the pressure of the expectation of completing two books a year. I write one book every two years and I have a full life at the same time which adds to the experiences of my characters, and the settings. That's my excuse!

I don't know why this blog turned out wonky and cut off before the end. It went on longer, but I guess I'll post the rest as a new blog.
I followed the link to your website but maybe most would prefer it to be all on Goodreads. Oh the vagaries of the internet, it doesn't always turn out to do what is expected!
