http://romanceresearch.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A journal documenting my academic research into Genre Romance Novels. Monday, 15 September 2008. Intertextuality and the Vampire Romance. Vampire Romances are a fascinating aspect of the Romance Genre. They have mysterious heroes that are tortured by a traumatic past. As Anne Stuart explains, “At the heart of the vampire myth is a demon lover who is both elegant and deadly, a creature whose savagery is all the more shocking when taken with his beauty and style.” [i]. A popular motif in. In each of the pa...

A journal documenting my academic research into Genre Romance Novels. Tuesday, 18 November 2008. Abstract for PCA Confrence. Well, after many revisions I e-mailed my abstract for my paper for the PCA confrence. The due date got extended to the 30th, so I had a bit more time to tweak it, but I wanted to get it in. No word back, but I don't expect to get any for a while. Though I do wish someone had sent me a confirmation e-mail. Here it is, in all it's brevity:. However, the vampire in paranormal romance ...

Researching the Romance: Begining My Independent Study
http://romanceresearch.blogspot.com/2008/09/begining-my-independent-study.html
A journal documenting my academic research into Genre Romance Novels. Wednesday, 3 September 2008. Begining My Independent Study. As I begin on my independent study this semester, I'm struggling with two questions. How do you define the romance novel? I think this is important because it is very hard to study something if you don't know what it is. So, this first week I'm reading Jennifer Crusie's essays, A Natural History of the Romance Novel.

Penetrating Analysis: December 2014
http://penetratinganalysis.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A blog about popular romance as literature. Monday, December 29, 2014. What is a romance? Whether or not you’ve read romances, you likely have a notion of them in mind. And if I dropped you into a bookstore with no signs to indicate genre or section, you could still unerringly identify the romance section by its books’ pastel color scheme, florid script, and unsubtle cover art. A definition proposed by Lisa Fletcher in her 2008 book Historical Romance Fiction. This definition anchored in notions of both ...

The Ink Spot: July 2008
http://christine-wells.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 03, 2008. Isn't this one of the most beautiful covers you've ever seen? It's for my friend and critique partner Denise Rossetti's The Flame and the Shadow and it's by the same artist who created the covers for my novels- James Griffin. Isn't that a coincidence? This is the first in a series you won't want to miss. A fantasy romance from a master storyteller, the first in her four-sided pentacle series. You can read more about Denise and her novels here.

Penetrating Analysis: When the hero puts on a dress
http://penetratinganalysis.blogspot.com/2015/02/when-hero-puts-on-dress.html
A blog about popular romance as literature. Monday, February 9, 2015. When the hero puts on a dress. In her 2008 book Historical Romance Fiction. As a trope, cross-dressing also provides the author with a means to subvert the severe delineation of gender roles in various historical periods, allowing heroines greater freedom of movement and experience than their setting might otherwise permit. Fletcher argues that in spite of any transgression the gender politics of the trope tend to reinforce the mal...

Romance Fiction in the Digital Age Conference. At the Library of Congress last Wednesday. For those who were unable to attend, tweets from the conference’s panel sessions have been Storified.
