Since then, I’ve lost a good chunk of the first part of the first book (and maybe someday I’ll share those deleted chapters here for posterity) and I’ve rewritten the prologue to make sure readers know it’s a romance novel upon first glance.īut 2015 wasn’t just about me–it was about this hot subgenre of romance novels. And, perhaps, I wasn’t clear in the first few chapters of the book, either. They were so artistic and I loved that about them, but readers avoided the books because they didn’t know upon first glance that they were rock star romance–or even romance. I loved the design but now, in retrospect, I realize there was no identifying my book genre when looking at them. First, my designer (my hubby!) wanted to experiment with the cover designs, and I was all for it. It’s still being discovered (yay!), but it had a few things going against it at the time. For those of you new to the genre, I hope you’re finding a few new reads (perhaps even a library full!).īy 2015, I myself had partially published three rock star romance series and a couple of standalones but I tackled a trilogy during that year that I’d been wanting to write for a while. One of my readers wrote me an email last week and asked me to keep these lists coming–because, for those of you who discovered rockstar romance before now, this is a trip down memory lane (I know it has been for me!).
