Academic blogging
I had a lovely email from Dr. Laura Vivanco last night, saying she'd blogged about one of my books.
I was immediately intrigued and rushed over here to take a look.
Her observations about CONTRACT TO MARRY were very interesting and she picked up exactly how I'd used the heroine Fleur's best friend Liv (who reads romance novels) as a perfect foil for Fleur's cynicism.
CONTRACT TO MARRY features an older hero, Darcy (38) and a much younger, much more cynical heroine Fleur who doesn't believe in marriage and all that rot! Of course, Darcy changes her mind eventually...This is a romance after all!
I'd love to hear what you think about Dr. Vivanco's blog.

Hi! Yes great blog, and terrific book. Enjoyed Dr.Vivanco's blog,a bit different and educational.

I found all this really interesting, Nic! How did you luck onto your book I wonder.
I have no idea!
I'd say she reads romance novels anyway and mine happened to be the one she wanted to blog about because it highlighted a 'metaromance'.
