The Psychology of Romance Novels or Period Dramas

The Psychology of Romance Novels or Period Dramas

There are plenty of articles on the Internet from psychology resources that state romance novels are bad for women.  Some say these books give women unrealistic expectations when it comes to romance and can damage real-life relationships.

Sources for eBooks

Sources for eBooks

Those of you who like the ability to read digital material rather than  smelling the scent of the printed page, source your eBooks from a variety of sources.  Authors and publishers make those eBooks available to readers on multiple platforms.

A Woman’s Place in History by Brita Addams (Historical Tidbit!)

A Woman’s Place in History by Brita Addams (Historical Tidbit!)

Understanding the centuries-long struggle is essential to understanding  true characterizations in historical fiction and romance. I remain  firmly in the ‘portray women within the restrictions of their times’  camp. Otherwise, we’re simply creating 21st century women in costume.

The Price of an E-Book

The Price of an E-Book

Today while I was checking out the Amazon Best Seller list, I glanced at the book prices.  A few caught my eye, thinking they were outrageously high.  You might assume that books on sale would sell more copies and rise to the best seller list.  Apparently, that’s not the case, because many books in the top one hundred are priced far above a 99 cent price point.  How much are you willing to pay for an eBook?

Strike a Pose for Covers

Strike a Pose for Covers

Historical romance covers can be beautiful artwork.  I've seen some that take my breath away.  When you look at the older covers from the bodice-ripping days, there are three major poses that come to mind.   These are still, for the most part, on our twenty-first-century historical romance book covers.  If it's not the poses of the hero and heroine together, it's usually the flowing dress of a single female character.  Nevertheless, have a bit of a chuckle with me as we look at these rather awkward positions.
