Love Stinks

Valentine’s Day is behind us. The chocolate is stale, the roses are wilting. Only 363 days to find a Valentine for next year. Can you make it?
If love is your game, check out this article from the Community Press online by Kate Everson, profiling romance novel Ingrid Weaver. If you think that writing romance novels is just plugging in body parts and ripped bodices into a flimsy plot, you’re mistaken. “She also works hard on character development. “I write pages and pages of background on the characters, that never gets in, but I use it to just get the feel of them,” she says. Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s not room for some fun. “Ingrid admits she likes to sneak in the names of hockey players as character names. She has used Beliveau, Horton, Hull, even Captain Gilmour.”
Oh that’s so silly. Sports and romance novels: who ever heard of such a thing?
