It is amazing how much money an author can make writing these romance novels! Think Nora Roberts. She started out writing for Silhouette, the American counterpart of Harlequinn. I really should sit myself down and try to write a romance novel.

I think, simply, romance novels provides the assuarnce of “Happily Ever After.” Something life often does not.

I don’t get the pregnancy romance thing either. I like to read books about family relationships. sometimes there may be a love interest, but I really am more interested in the happy ending happy family stories…I guess that’s why there are so many books for SO many interests…..

Absolutely. My wife is actually who got me hooked on Star Trek and Doctor Who. How many fanboys can say that?

Rednecks need love too. True story: one year when I was working as a photo tech in a wal-mart, my boss decided to put together ‘redneck valentines’. These consisted of a balloon filled with: lingerie, a six pack of beer, … and Polaroid film. We sold a ton until his boss found out!

Sorry if I seemed degrading. I was just going for the ‘maybe I’ll get a cheap laugh from being ignorant’ thing. No offense intended!

It is all a matter of taste. There might be something to romance novels beyond the steamy cover illustration and sensational title. Sometimes I like a good crime noir novel with plenty of sex and violence. Does this make me a bad or even questionable person? I hope we’re not judged by our choices of entertainment, that would just be wrong!

What!? BTW, My wife and yours would probably get along very well; she reads LOTR at least once a year. She loves all that fantasy/sci-fi stuff. Romance novels have never been seen in this house. But, seriously, I don’t know the fascination of pregnancy related romance. That seems very much like a fetish, and a weird one at that (well, maybe they’re all weird.)

Oh, you didn’t know my pen name was Kim Lawrence? Yeah, I’m making a killing off these babies. =-) Okay, NASCAR? Really!? What is it, for romantic rednecks? That might qualify as a submission to FAIL Blog.
