The story so far: We’ve been writing romance novels that we publish internationally. Many of our favorite international romance books for the past few decades have photos or real people’s faces on the covers. Many of us started with art illustrations […]

I read 92 books in 2018. 92! That’s probably my best rate in years, and that doesn’t even include re-reads, standalone short fiction, komiks, zines, completed/serial online fiction, pre-publication #romanceclass reads. I won’t be listing all of the titles, and […]

Yes it’s possible, apparently, to indie-pub a romance book and see it acquired by libraries. If you use Smashwords (and opt into Overdrive for digital books), Findaway Voices (for audio books), and CreateSpace (now Amazon print, for print books) then […]

I released one new contemporary romance book this year. I had originally typed that sentence to include “only” but that makes it seem like a disappointment. One new book a year, or every few years, is fine–it really is! I’m happy […]

Many of them on this list are not new authors, and come highly recommended by friends, so the qualifier is “new to me.” Warning: this strategy opens up worlds of beauty; it does not reduce the number of books to be read.
Here are my new-to-me authors in 2018:

I was interviewed by M. Paramita Lin for The Unpublishables. Really appreciated the questions! Wanted to highlight this particular one, and maybe talk about it some more.

I’ve been keeping track of mentions of #romanceclass books on publications and lists, and 2018 has been a great year for that. So grateful for readers who recommend our books and include us in lists. Here’s a thread I made on Twitter of all the rec lists I saw (click on tweet to follow the thread):
