She offered it to readers of her newsletter and increased newsletter subscriptions from 50 to 1,500! She also has written a follow up story and will release all three together in a separate independent publication. I very much admire her ingenuity in reaching an audience.Paula Gail Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843350597811462936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-76943526319468374072020-02-18T07:40:12.224-05:002020-02-18T07:40:12.224-05:00What a gorgeous cover, and I love the parameters o...What a gorgeous cover, and I love the parameters of the stories--the locale, time, and variety of ideas, all in one place. Not sure I could write a romantic story, but I'm impressed that you did since that isn't something you normally do.

That is what led us to select our cover design, which we thought conveyed a Charleston where both normal and paranormal could flourish.Paula Gail Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843350597811462936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-33959424185745089942020-02-18T04:20:03.374-05:002020-02-18T04:20:03.374-05:00Oh, they all sound wonderful!

Many of the stories seem to include paranormal, that was unexpected. Is it a trend in romance? Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.com
