Welcome back to Romance Writers Weekly!!! This week Susan Scott Shelley http://www.susanscottshelley.com/#!her-blog/c1cod wants to know who’s coming to dinner. She wants us to tell you who our choice of authors in the world (living or deceased) would we want to be our dinner guest.
When I told my son what this week’s topic was, he immediately knew which author I would chose, J Of course, he couldn’t tell me her name, but he did know one of the titles to one of her stories J
“I’ve not forgot, you see.”
“At least three courses”
For those Jane Austen fans out there you know exactly who I would have to dinner J
The reason I’d chose Jane Austen is because her stories captivate me. I adore her writing and the romance that revolves around her characters. I would love to spend an evening discussing writing with her.
Her writing is so different from modern day romance writing and even though I fell in love with modern day romance there is something to be said for being able to write a romance where the ‘heated’ scenes are left out and still captivate the reader and hold their attention from beginning to end. To be able to write like that to me would mean success as a romance writer. To make the reader feel each and every emotion from opening scene to closing one, takes a talent like no other. Jane Austen’s stories grab the reader, draws them in, and allows you to fall in love.
One thing I also find fascinating about her stories is when written they were modern day romance, today, they are historical J
Now as a bonus to today’s blog, if anyone can tell me what Jane Austen book/movie the line at the beginning of this blog comes from I will give you a chance to win your choice of PDF of my books, The Cheyenne Bride or Into the Darkness. Leave your email in your comment below and I will announce the winner Thursday.
