We're sad to say that due to schedules and work loads we've decided to close The Realm. However, if you would like an awesome community of writers to chat with and get to know check out the Romane Divas at www.romancedivas.com. They have tons to offer and a huge group of amazing writers! We will be moving some of the information we've put on the forum to our MySpace page, so if you want to keep up with us, check out our blog there. We'll be blogging there in addition to our personal blogs from now on. Thanks for hanging out with us. We hope to see you on the Web!

Re: When reading a book...


Thank you so much, Dawn.

I tried to get away from the traditional romance, where the heroine can pass for a model, the hero is the guy in the white hat, and everything is so nice, clean cut, and dried. Life is not clean cut and dried. I wanted to write a romance in which the reader asks herself who is the bad guy and who is the good guy in terms of politics.

Re: When reading a book...


I used to read any book all the way through, because I wanted to give it a fighting chance. Besides, I paid good money for something I was going to set down, never to pick up again.

Now, I'm with Nikki, way too many books on my TBR and way too little time. I don't have a running conversation in my head that says 'if it's not good by...' I just decide at some point that if I can't get into it by now, I probably never will, and put it in my recycle bin, or donate it to the library.

Yeah. I think it's way easier to give books a longer chance when you don't have a huge TBR list.
