“I believe the proper term is romance author,” my grandmother snaps despite her polished Queen of Boston smile. “And I couldn’t be prouder of her. I have all of her books sitting on my shelves.

Demeaning what is a respected and valued profession and form of artistic expression is unacceptable in any capacity.”
