Sincerely, Romance
Romance is serious business.
Romance is revolutionary in its insistence that love is worth fighting for, happy endings aren’t naive, and hope changes us more than fear or cynicism.
I believe in romance deeply. I've believed in it through 40 ghostwritten novels, through a playwright's career, through every time someone has been embarrassed to admit they’re a romance reader or called it a “guilty pleasure”.
Romance, in this space, is sincere and shameless.
