Romance Writers Unite

How do I market my romance novel? Tips and tricks I've learned along the way and looking for more!

About Me

Name:
Location: Naples, Florida, United States

Hi! I am a romance author, although my novels are more science fiction/fantasy in my opinion. I've had two books published and a third completed. I'm waiting to hear back from the publishers on that one. My first published book is MacGregor's Curse, a novel about a woman who finds herself in the 13th century Scottish Highlands. My second novel, Whispers by the Sea will be available by April of 2005. This is a contemporary paranormal romance that takes place in Brittas Bay, Ireland. Jacob's Pillow has been submitted to the publishers and I'm just waiting to hear back on that one. Another historical romance that takes place in the 18th century Scottish Highlands. Why Scotland and Ireland? Well, My grandmother was full Scottish and my Grandfather was full Irish (was a ball growing up). With so much hitory there, I couldn't resist writing about the hardships they went through to gain their freedom. I collect anything Scottish or Irish and I'm facinated by the people there.

Holiday Blues

I'm sure I'm not the only one that struggled through the holidays, worrying about fitting in writing time. I didn't get much done. I thought about it, wanted to do it, but too many things got in the way. Now that the holidays are over, I'm suffering from a sort of...writer's block. I guess it's after-stress. I started a new novel, and then another and yet another. Now I'm stuck on three. I've got about 2 chapters in each novel and I sit and read them over and over and over again. I'm hoping if I stare at them long enough, something will click. So, aside from anxiety, post holiday depression and a busy work schedule (since my writing isn't supporting us quite yet...hehehehe), I'm struggling. I will get through this, I just need to buckle down and concentrate. After I watch Troy of course. LOL. Hey, it IS Brad we're talking about...
