The Romance Troupe discussion

What multicultural romance have you read lately that you enjoyed?

What cultures do you like to read about?

LaVerne Thompson and Zenobia Renquist have several great multicultural romances, and that's always a theme in my paranormals. I'm fascinated by African (continental), Indian (Middle Eastern), Balkan, and Japanese cultures. I enjoy writing about Native American cultures, also great story builders.

Love Comes Later by Mohan Ranjakur is one of the last M/C romances that I read and really enjoyed it. It explores the relationship between a Qatari man from a devout Muslim family and Asian-American woman. Loved the juxtaposition of cultures.

Oh, yes that does sound interesting. Both are such rich cultures with a number of rituals.

So excited to find LOVE COMES LATER. Big high cyber five!

I'm from Miami, grew up in a diverse culture, married a Basque man, taught English as second language, and have a daugther who is comfortable in either cultural (Spanish and US). Being a witness to diversity, the trials/challenges I can't help but feed a yearning to read about M/C or other cultures. I write about M/C because of this sensitivity.I was fortunate to hear Junot Diaz when he came to Nashville last year and read parts of his novel. Dr. Diaz is a college professor wearing converse sneakers. An amazing author, teacher, and human being. His writing style is literary; however, he creates on several levels. "How to Lose Her" is a work you won't want to miss.
