  1. I would love for someone to do a story about Llewellyn & Princess Joanna(King John's daughter). Bring a little more Welsh to the scene...Or a Welsh Princess & a Highlander would be nice �� Other then that these ladies writing is perfection & you can't improve upon that...Have a great week Kimi

    1. That's a great idea, since I just found out I have lots of Welsh in me. Thanks for stopping by

  2. I would like to see more books centered around poor people instead of them always centering around the upperclass!

    2. So would I! Lots of plot possibilities that aren't being used. And it's easier for me to identify with a poor heroine rather than a rich one. And fall in love with a hero who has something going for him other than wealth and power.

  4. Thanks, Kimi. Actually, I AM writing a romance. And it's way off the beaten path!

    Here are some of the things I'd like to see in rom fic. You can bet they're in my work!

    1. A hero who doesn't need redemption. He has more interesting issues. What's more interesting? IMHO, almost anything.

    2. A heroine who isn't feisty. Shucks, she's not even strong! At first. I ask you: who's more interesting? A heroine who's strong from the start, or one who BECOMES strong?

    3. The hero and heroine love each other early on. They don't wait until the last chapter to declare their love. For them falling in love is easy. But complications follow.

    4. No sex scenes. IMHO, if you've read one, you've read 'em all. To me, what goes on in the characters' hearts and minds is more interesting than what happens farther south.

    5. Other characters matter. One of my pet peeves is romances in which the focus on the hero and heroine is so tight that anyone else is just a spear-carrier. And the focal couple are never apart. In my story they're apart quite a bit of the time. The obstacles to their love are that great.

    6. Which leads me to the last point. The hero and the heroine each do something extraordinary for love. A love that, it seems, can never be fulfilled---until it is, by great effort and courage. That's what moves me the most in other romances. And how I hope to move my readers, if I get any.

    Good luck!
