Hey, Jess. Happy to see you here!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I've noticed some new faces. Please feel free to introduce yourselves anytime.

[Arch , Mod]

I second that. Please introduce yourself.

I've been lurking on this list for a month or so. Thanks to everyone for their great bookshelves! I've found lots of good IR novels to read. This is an interesting genre and I'm addicted. I may even be inspired to pen a short story of my own.

Is there a list for inspiring writers on Goodreads that any of you suggest?

Also, I really prefer reading digital versions of books. Is there a web site that has a good variety of IR novels available for purchase?

Welcome Alicia.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Welcome to the group, Alicia. Try Red Rose Publishing and Phaze. I've gotten quite a few books from those sights. Also Amira Press. Loose-Id and Samhain, Liquid Silver, and Cobblestone also sell IR, more on the erotic side. Lulu.com is a site where authors self-publish. Their search system is not that easy to navigate, but you will find some good authors on there.

Hi Alicia and welcome to the group! You may want to check out Freya's Bower which has a growing amount of IR books. If you don't mind paperback here and there, also check out Genesis Press which has some nice stories especially in their backlist from the 90s. Oh! And Parker Publishing which offers their works in digital format. Great stuff!

Feel free to cull my IR shelf if you want any recs or titles on where to dive in. :-)

Thank you to all of you for your welcome and the tips for digital sources. If any of you know the management at Genesis Press, you might mention that there are probably lots of fans like me who would love to access many of their titles digitally.

Also, I've been reviewing the boookshelves of other membes and I've added lots of titles to my own based on other lists. I will not lack for reading material in the near future!

I'm glad to hear that, Alicia!

Alicia,

I want to invite you to participate in the challenge stories that we write on here. Our next challenge is our uniform story challenge. The person that wears the uniform can be the hero or heroine. Eugenia started her story already.

I'll be starting mine soon.

If you want to join, please do. Please warn us if your story is going to be erotic or if the love scene will be erotic or detailed. I don't read erotic stories. I'll read a non-erotic story, but I'll skip over the love scene if it's erotic or detailed.

[Alicia]

Challenge? Where are the rules posted? I checked the thread, but couldn't determine if there is a current theme or where to post the story.

Alicia, our stories are posted under the writing challenge thread. Right now, some of us are still working on our Royal Challenge story. Eugenia is writing two stories. Her Royal Challenge story and Uniform Story.

Danielle and I are still writing to our Royal challenge and Rae has finished her Royal challenge story.

If you want to write a Uniform story, post it under the writing challenge thread.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I'll finish mine, eventually. I keep running into more urgent deadlines. Always behind, that's me!

[Arch , Mod]

Hopefully, later on tonight, I'll have my next installment up.

My story is winding down.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Mine is too, in theory, that is.

[Arch , Mod]

I'm going to miss Chocolate and Parris.

Hi Everyone. I'm Cher. I'm a divorce mother of 1 school age boy.
I live in Toronto Canada. I love reading harlequin romances in my earlier days. But lost tract of reading when life and living took over. I recently got back into my love of reading romance came back to me during the "Twilight saga" craze. I did not know about other romances other than harlequins until then. Vamp threw the Twilight saga series and craved other reads with a more adult bite. Now I can't get enough. Here is something new I'm learning since I came upon this group...INTERRACIAL ROMANCE novels. Maybe I've read them before and didn't realize they were interracial romance. Can someone explain. Is this genre of inter-racial couples, ie, the obvious...black & white or does it include more of cultral differences in the coupling. In any case, I'm glad to join the group. Looking forward to all the threads. Cheers!

[Arch , Mod]

Welcome Cher.

Interracial of any hero/heroine pairing. Black woman/white man

White woman/black man.

Etc.

Welcome, Cher.

[Desperado]

Hi, my name is Ammarylis. I've been looking for an interracial romance group & stupid me didn't realize that two of my GR friends are mods on one. ::shakes head:: Hmmm. I'm a 20 yo african-american/tahitian college sophomore who currently lives with my caucasion fiance. I've always been interested in interracial romance but have been lazy in looking for them, since its not the most popular romance sub-genre. Hoping to get/give book recs & make friends on here. Take care.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Welcome aboard, Ammarylis. I'm glad you found us!

[Desperado]

I'm glad I did too! Thanks for the welcome.

Hello everyone :)
I have recently self-published my first contemporary novel titled, "Who Would Have Thought?:Men of Adonis". Further details are listed under my profile.
I look forward to contributing to the group and learning from each of you.

Welcome again, Trenice. Feel free to add your book to the group bookcase.

Thank you, Danielle :D BTW, where should I look for the bookcase?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

It's at the bottom of the group page. There is a button that says add book, and you can load your book, as long as it's in the Goodreads database.
