Fun in the sun

Hi, this is Jo, in spirit if not in fact -- because I'm in San Diego and unlikely to be able to respond to any comments here until I get back. So it's really talk among yourselves time, though I'm sure some of the homebound Wenches will drop by. So first I'd like to remind you all that Shana Abe will be a guest on WW, probably next Friday 23rd. If you haven't tried her Drakon books, you've missed a treat. Georgian aristocrats were MADE to be shapeshifter dragons of an imperious nature. AND, she'll be giving away two hardcover books. Spread the word. Next, a few idle questions to see if any spark your interest. If any do, I might expand upon them in future posts. Is there a different appeal in historical, contemporary, and contemporary-paramormal romance? If so, what is it? (If this reminds you of a university exam question, don't worry. No marking, no failing.) Historicals and contemporary-paranormal often have larger-than-life heroes, even too big for their boots, one could say. Is this the appeal, and if so, why? What's the draw of dukes? Why won't a mere viscount cut it? --> my only duke. And they thought he was a vampire.*G* I look forward to your answers. Best wishes, Jo
