Men have to be romantic. Otherwise, women in search of romance would forever be doomed to disappointment. I know of too many successful marriages to doubt that. As for POV, men and women are definitely different, but I believe they look for the same things in romance. They just happen to view them from slightly different angles.<br /><br />I had always wanted to write a spinoff about one the characters from the Seven Brides series. It was years before my editor would agree, but when she did I knew the story had to be about Salty. I'd gotten many comments from readers about the twins, William Henry, Dodie, Jordy, and several others, but the most requests were for Salty. I hope you enjoy his story. As for a "marriage of convenience", I think this could be more accurately termed a "marriage of desperation."

Thanks for sharing. And I think the more we see different sorts of authors writing different sorts of books, the more quickly we'll get beyond the idea that 'men don't writer romance,' or 'women don't write sci-fi.' I don't think Those stereotypes are productive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-27407098297690404942016-07-11T06:53:54.245-04:002016-07-11T06:53:54.245-04:00Cool to see another Charlotte-area writer!

Sometimes, I can tell the difference--it all depends on the skill of the writer. "Marriage of Convenience" is one of my favorite storylines. It's one that I reach for time and time again. The hero and heroine are often trying to overcome great hardship, or, in order to move forward with their lives for financial gain, they must marry. They discover much about themselves as they get to know each other and adapt to their new relationship.
