Many of you know that I write Romantic Comedy under the pen name Annie Hoff. Annie has a brand-new light and slightly fluffy romance that juuuust about ready to hit the presses as the latest book published by Dream River Press. Secondhand Love is the  story of a young woman who finds love right where she shouldn’t, where it might have been all along.  It’s set in New York and for those of you who read and enjoyed Georgette Alden Starts Over, you’ll find some characters you’ve already been introduced to.  I’ll be revealing the cover very soon and soon there after will be asking for a few good readers who might want to review the book before it becomes widely available. All of that is good, and humming right along.
But one question nags at me. In this time of Corona virus and unrest, when so much is going wrong, do you want to read romantic comedy? In some ways, it feels out of touch to put this book out there, like whistling through a graveyard. On the other hand, my editor reminds me that people enjoy some escape and that a light hearted book might be just what the psychologist would order.
What do you think? Is it a good time for a romantic comedy? Or not?
