Romantic At Heart

I am not ashamed to say I am a helpless romantic. This probably came from reading so many fairy tales as a child. The Princess stayed with the Prince at the end and lived happlily ever after. In my journey into the world of writing, aside from learning the craft, I want to write a romantic suspense novel. The whole notion of romance and mystery really interests me. Of course my story will have a happy ending. A happy ending does not mean all troubles are over, but now there are two people to share it and grow together as a couple. I have done some of (in my opinion) my best writing when in love or a romantic gesture touched me in a special, profound way. I have added books that I have on writing a romance to this blog, I have not read them all yet, but will. If you go to a bookstore, they have at least two to three shelves of books on romance. Some of my favorite romance/romantic suspense authors today are Sandra Brown, Nora Roberts, Tami Hoag, Jayne Ann Kravetz, and Karen Rose. I have a lot of their books and one of my goals this year is to read them all. This will help me learn how they write and I know my idea to write my story will come from this.
