edit data

I immigrated to America when I was 5 with my nurse mother and artist father. Went through Ellis Island. Took part in the American dream. Started writing in ad agencies, switched to articles, then novels. Wrote several screenplays (one was optioned). Currently interviewing talent (actors, directors, producers, and writers) for an entertainment magazine. I have two traditionally published novels currently on Amazon--Healer A Novel, which ended in a nail-biting cliffhanger. And its sequel--The Search for Dr. Noble.

Should the Female Protagonist in Your Romance Novel be Pretty or Plain?

When writing a historical romance novel, the choice isn’t really “pretty vs. plain Jane” in the modern sense. It’s more about the kind of fantasy you’re selling and how many sparks you want flying between the heroine and the hero (and the reader). Here are some options to explore in the genre, ranked by current market performance and reader satisfaction:
