Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

I've recently added a book blog to my website. trying a completely new (for me) genre seems like a fun idea, so I'm looking for one or two romances to review and a few authors to interview. FYI - Sorry, but e-readers give me eyestrain headaches so I must restrict myself to paperbacks. If anyone is interested please send me a message!

Do you have a link to your blog? :)
Whitney

I can do an interview but my book is only on ereader (though there is a paperback due sometime this year...)

I can. I have e-book and paperback. Mine is Fantasy Romance Erotica genre.

ML, have you read any yet (since you posted a month ago)? How did you like 'em?

Thanks for your interest, everyone!

@Whitney - I really SHOULD have added a link. Here's one to my latest post: an interview with author Sarah-jane LeHoux http://www.lunarisen.com/alltheotherb...

@D.A. - when the paperback is available, maybe you could email the first 10 (or so) pages so I can take a quick look before you go to the expense of shipping? [email protected]

@Alexandra - Would you mind emailing about ten pages to me? [email protected]

@ Abigail - actually, no! My post was met with silence by the romance writers here! I did get a few fantasy-type books; unfortunately only one of them was reviewable (I refuse to post negative reviews).

I am still looking for some romances for a change of pace, and if any of you would like to participate in a reader interview as well, just email me! Here's an example from my blog: http://www.lunarisen.com/alltheotherb...

M.L., I have a book of romantic short stories that may appeal to someone who likes Tolkein (I first typed "Tolstein", which could be a merger of Tolkein and Tolstoy...hmm..."Each unhappy hobbit is unhappy in its own way") and Jane Austen. May I e-mail the first ten pages to you?

Good luck on your quest. Mine's not out 'til May, so I can't offer it to you

Sorry- click send too soon.

Have you tried any current or classic romances? Pride and Prejudice is high on my list (and out of copyright) and Jill Shalvis writes funny contemporary.

Abigail, if you're interested in May, just send me a message!

Sheela - absolutely!

ML, I am curious about how you like what you've read so far. I know a lot of folks turn their noses up at romance. What do you think about them? Think you'll keep reading?

Abigail - I haven't reviewed any yet. I received ten pages from another author two days ago and am reading through it. I'm curious, though. My wife reads quite a few and I've peaked through them...but I want to read some indies as part of my effort to help other indie authors get some exposure.

Nice of you. I'm traditional, so that leaves me out. :)

Let me know after you read some. I really want to know your thoughts. Especially since you're coming at it from a non-romance side.

Will do!
