Читать книгу Burke's Rules - Pat Tracy - Страница 7

The first category romance novel I read was

Corporate Affair, a Silhouette Desire romance, written

by Stephanie James. The characters, writing style and

plot absolutely riveted me. Along with millions of other

readers, I discovered both the romance genre and

Jayne Ann Krentz, a brilliantly gifted author with

several pen names.

This book is dedicated to Jayne Ann Krentz,

Jayne Castle, Stephanie James, Amanda Quick,

Amanda Glass and Jayne Taylor. Not only have you

provided me with hours upon hours of magic, you

answered a fan letter

I wrote, asking about how one went about becoming

published. You told me about Romance Writers of

America, national and regional writing conferences,

query letters and editors.

It’s no accident that Burke’s Jayne is book-smart, earnest

and single-mindedly determined to accomplish a worthy

goal. She’s named for you, Jayne, and, I hope, represents

the kind of stong, independent woman who deserves a

“wounded wolf” with the courage to pursue a hero’s

quest. In taming the shrew and battling his inner

demons, Burke finds his mate and recovers his soul.

That’s how it goes, right?
