Joyce- Not reaIly a ? but a thanks. I just want to thank you for creating the clean romance group. My daughter writes romantic suspense and it is a hard category to sell romance without sex. They are not inspirational but just clean. I will make use of this group quite a bit as we are struggling to find a market for her books. She writes romantic suspense under Becca Boyd and historical romance under R.L. Syme.

Hi Chris! That's what our Clean Romances group is all about, supporting one another as readers and writers who love good romances without the sex, but without the inspirational bent, too. Is your daughter also on Facebook? There might be some groups she would find helpful there, too. We have a Clean Romances Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/14353...
She might also check out:
Romantic Clean Reads: https://www.facebook.com/groups/60512...
Sweet Romance Readers and Writers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/14600...
There are also a couple of FB support groups for people who write clean fiction. They discourage promos in these groups, but are there for marketing ideas and general support discussions. This one focuses on romance:
Sweet/Clean Romance Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/67087...
This one covers all indie author fiction (assuming your daughter is an indie author? If not, never mind this one. :-) )
Clean Indie Reads: https://www.facebook.com/groups/clean...
Hope you and your daughter find some of this helpful! :-)

Joyce I am not sure if I ask you here to add me to the clean romance blog list. I review books which are clean, sweet, inspirational or Christian books. Most of my reviews are for Christian based books; I more author requests from this genre. I transitioned my blog to the above category in August 2016, because I was committed to the other genres, they have stayed on my blog as explained on home page. can u add me?

Joyce DiPastena:
Dear Joyce, your Clean Romance group is really intriguing! I've just published my first historical romance, and now I'm wondering if I could add it to your list? There is some innuendo, but nothing explicit. But, while the main romance is heterosexual, the hero's (male) cousin is hopelessly in love with him. Would that be an impediment? Many thanks! Elsie
