Demelza Watts Hi Joyce, thank you so much for taking the time to write back. Cowboys sound great, but alas, I'm from the UK and really wouldn't have a clue about ranch life! ;)

I would love you to recommend some FB groups, please- that would be fantastic!

Thanks so much,
Demy

Joyce Here are some FB groups you can check out:

These are promotional groups, but you might get some replies from readers or other authors:

The GoodReads Clean Romances Group on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/14353...
Sweet Romance Readers and Writers https://www.facebook.com/groups/14600...
Romantic Clean Reads https://www.facebook.com/groups/60512...

These are author only groups, meaning no promotion is allowed, but they're great for asking questions from other authors:

Clean Indie Reads https://www.facebook.com/groups/clean...
Sweet/Clean Romance Group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/67087...

I should have asked you if you've joined the Clean Romances Group here on Goodreads? Another thought that just popped into my head is that you could look at the books we have listed on our bookshelf and see what contemporary categories have the most books in them. That might give you some idea of what other contemporary authors are writing. Here's the link to the bookshelf. https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll answer anything else I can. :-)

Joyce

Rose Schmidt Hi there! I have just joined Goodreads and this group. I have written clean contemporary romantic comedy and I am finding the same problem. I am trying to promo right now and people are enjoying it, but it's a small audience. Not sure what advice I can give at the moment. I will pass on what I do learn.

Joyce It's always great when we can help each other with our experiences, both what works for us and what doesn't. Thank you for joining the conversation, Rose!
