The best part of RWA’s annual conference is, for us, getting to talk with authors we love. Elizabeth Kingston’s books get high marks from us so we were excited to ask her what she’s writing next.
Romantic Intentions Quarterly, a new e-zine about romance, interviewed our Publisher, Dabney Grinnan, for their second issue. With their permission, we are sharing the interview. RIQ: All About Romance is one of the most respected romance-related websites in the world. Can you tell us how it came to be?
March is an exciting month for romance writers, as it’s when the Romance Writers of America announces their finalists in the RITA and Golden Heart contests for published books and unpublished manuscripts, respectively, submitted in the fall of the previous year. Excitement builds up over the day of the announcement as writers get calls from the RWA…
I’m a lover of documentaries and of the Romance genre, so when buzz started on Twitter that the film Love Between the Covers was available to stream through Amazon, Netflix, and iTunes I had to watch it right away.
