Writer Patricia Rice has a new release out today, Notorious Atherton, a historical (say Regency) romp about a retired pirate and a would-be princess. But getting her intelligent, funny, magical romances to market is not a smooth path. In order to make the old new, and to push the borders of what a good romance novel should be, Pat keeps testing the waters and changing the borders. That makes New York editors nervous. "All I want to do is reach the readers who appreciate the kind of books I write—ones where the heroes aren’t jerks, the heroines aren’t wimps, and the couple finds romance while learning important lessons about themselves and life—and we all have fun as they romp across the pages. If that sounds like your kind of company, try the excerpt! Do you expect your favorite authors to write the same types of books every time? What elements do you look for in a good book?" bookviewcafe/blog/2013/10/08/treacherous-creativity/
