It was hard to find writing time this weekend so I'm still in Chapter 20. Also, I wrote myself into a corner so I'm going to have to redo part of Chapter 20 before I can move on.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Great, Barb! Glad y'all found each other. Just don't believe them when they offer to make you the Microsoft of romance...they say that to everybody.

“Not dead yet!”
Ha! I wouldn't worry about that, erika-- I finally admitted that I don't and in all likelihood will never write romance, much as I might want to.
I do, however, cop to some righteous love stories. I'm good with that.

Well, I'm a little confused where I fit on the genre divide myself, Barb. I mean, I like hard-boiled, but at the same time, I'm not all that comfortable with how sexist and violent the old-school stuff was. But, at the same time, the "Plumification" of the P.I. genre, for lack of a better term, is kind of alarming...I mean, I loved that series at first, but now, everyone and her sister has got a lipstick in one hand and a P.I. license in the other, and, FTR, Ms. Evanovich, it's better to stop a series before passionate readers like me say "Oh, are you still on that?" As a writer in my position, I've got no prayer of being hard-core, but I'm getting bored with the pink-tinted mysteries with no real stakes where the heroine gets saved by a dog or her grandma before nothing really dangerous happens to her in the first place.
