message 1671: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, romance readers with a romantic turn of mind! I'm introducing myself in a different way so maybe I'm in the wrong thread..? I'm writer...but I write thrillers for women and I'm not good at putting in the romance. Was wondering if mystery and suspense as the frontline with romance as a background thread was ok - or whether before you decide to read a book, the romance has to be key. Was just - um - wondering about that...

message 1695: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello fellow readers! I love to see so many people enjoying their books. It's inspiring. I like thriller romances or suppose you could say, romantic thrillers. I write chick chillers which lean toward a twist of terror before the right man is found. Writers such as Nicci French and Joanna Hines who mix the threads of intrigue and romance so well, are top of my reading list.

Other than that and the fact I'm trying to break my chocolate addiction, I'm working on edits for my book One Woman Man. Don't have a release date yet. I don't have a favorite color, and I won't mention my favorite food that I'm addicted to. If I try real hard maybe my new favorite food will be lettuce.
