And your entrepreneurial skills weren’t too bad either. :)

Hopefully Stacy will get a chance to come back and answer your questions. She’s probably swallowed up with work at the moment.

Again, thanks.

I like to say that I starting writing romance when I was in the fifth grade.
I actually wrote my friends’ love letters to their boyfriends in exchange for Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. Mmmm : )

Anderson Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:04:27 +0000 http://www.ninc.com/blog/?p=6307#comment-7883 Great information! Thanks for sharing it, Stacy and Maxine. Stacy, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on using category to build to a single title career. Is that something the authors you work with do, or do you focus more on dedicated category authors? You mention an author should do 3-4 categories a year–if I want to do 2 categories and 1-2 single titles a year, is that a good career path?
Thanks!

After my first real romance novel, which was a bodice ripper of the most sordid kind, I scoured the library for something just like it. That’s when I found the adult fiction section. :-)

Yvonne, I always gravitated to romance, too! I would even watch cartoons and want the characters to “get together.” LOL

But then again, I think I always gravitated to fairy stories with a romantic theme so maybe we all started younger than we realised :-D .

Fabulous blog post, ladies, thank you for taking the time to pose such excellent questions, Maxine, and for giving us such informative answers, Stacy.

Great description of category romance, Stacy. And I love that you started the romance habit early. I still remember reading my first Harlequin Romance at summer camp. When I got home, I was thrilled to learn there were MORE!

Susanne, thanks for your comment. This is only the second time I’ve explained category romance in this way, but it seems to resonate with folks who are less familiar with the series lines. It may become one of my regular talking points.

Charlene and Maxine, you’ll be hearing more from me about newsletters! Just a warning. :-)

I’m glad you enjoyed the interview.
