Paranormal is still pretty big.<br /><br />As for the bestselling author, if I had 10% of her sales, I'd be happy.Linda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-59042450073878252842009-08-13T11:44:50.394-04:002009-08-13T11:44:50.394-04:00"Bestseller" doesn't mean much, real..."Bestseller" doesn't mean much, really, other than someone did some very good promoting. Wish I could hire that person since it does add up in $$. ;-)<br /><br />I'm glad you found a new author you love. That's such fine. And I'm awed at the 2 books in one weekend. I rarely read anything paranormal. I don't mind the ghost stuff much as long as it's not nightmarish, but in general I'd rather stick to reality fiction.<br /><br />However, I was at a bookstore yesterday and saw a romance by an acquaintance. I nearly put it back because it has a wolf as a hero, but I loved the first line ... and the author's an acquaintance, so I picked it up anyway. It's getting hard to find romances without the paranormal elements, isn't it? I hope that new author wasn't pushed into it.LK Hunsakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706929624587891992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-90012926056951885882009-08-10T16:03:45.093-04:002009-08-10T16:03:45.093-04:00Hi Kaye, thanks.

The first book is well-written, and I'm sure lots of people will love it. Not me.<br /><br />As for the second book, the author wrote sweet Regencies for a long time. Now she has to branch out into something different. I hope she writes some more like "Phantom".Linda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305640310502393746.post-35224239130069575762009-08-10T10:02:02.028-04:002009-08-10T10:02:02.028-04:00This is an interesting post, Linda.

The author is probably a fairly new writer. I've found that newer writers stories are sometimes much better than the seasoned writers. Maybe this is because of the pressure to produce? Anyway, nice post.Kaye Manrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639814610213100626noreply@blogger.com
