cj Sez: Hometown Heroes, A Christmas Anthology launched
Dec 4 . . .
The contemporary romance stories in Hometown Heroes are all
about the magic of love, the embodiment of the Christmas season. For anyone
thinking about writing a romance story, I picked up the following quote several
years ago (source is long lost):
"Writing a romance novel is a creative process and far from formulaic. But romance readers pick up each and every novel with certain expectations firmly in place. To write a winning romance, you have to meet these expectations each and every time:
* A sympathetic heroine
* A strong, irresistible hero
* Emotional tension
* An interesting, believable plot
* A happy ending"
***
Reviews for Hometown Heroes are streaming in…an excerpt from one lovely and long review follows…and they tell me that the anthology met romance aficionados’
expectations. Be sure and let me know what you thought.
“All the stories are so engaging and believable- with
wonderfully written plots, and well developed characters. I have read books by
several of these talented authors before- but three of the authors were new to
me… so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I knew and loved,
but also get an introduction to some authors who are new to me. So, settle down
for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heartfelt romance, some
suspense, a bit of mystery, history, some paranormal, action, drama, adventure,
and more.
"There is something here for everyone! I really recommend this
Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase
price- and by purchasing this anthology you will be helping out a charity in
the process, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Cajun Navy Relief!
#Win-Win! Thank you to all the contributing authors!”
