My first experience with romance was a bag of Harlequins from a garage sale my grandmother bought for a 25 cents. I was ten when I started reading Bride of Fortunato by Violet Winspear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395293021442031324.post-72018388690958205182012-03-27T13:46:02.695-05:002012-03-27T13:46:02.695-05:00I love a fast-paced book too!

You made my Monday ☺ <br /><br />Wendy, in the writing world you never know when your prospects will turn around. Last week I received a 3-book contract on a proposal my agent submitted almost 2 years ago! I thought it had been forgotten a loooong time ago. <br /><br />Yes, Diane, LI is actually one of Hqn's fastest growing and most profitable lines. It seems a lot of readers are looking for a “clean” read. So now they're launching a “heartwarming” series that will be similar, but minus any overt Christian elements.Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395293021442031324.post-70484308604793472422012-03-26T09:14:36.816-05:002012-03-26T09:14:36.816-05:00So it's a Christian line of romance?
