You Should Be a Romance Novelist
You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart.
You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer...
And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories.
As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it.
About me: I recently became published by Whiskey Creek Press Torrid for my erotic romance novel, The Pleasure of Sin. I have written 6 books and am currently working on my seventh. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. I'm married to the best husband in the world, who always supports me and provides a shoulder for me to lean on. He's my prince and I'm forever grateful for him.
I'm also a proud member of Central Florida Romance Writers, The Passionate Ink chapter and Hearts through History chapter of RWA. You can also visit my website at www.shaunahart.com. I have some great tips for aspiring authors on how to begin building interest in your work even before you are published!
Check out what reviewers are saying about my upcoming December release, The Pleasure of Sin:
Author Shauna Hart delivers on this one in a novel that is powerful and intriguing. I was particularly impressed with Ms. Hart's ability to conceal clues under layers of escalating suspense, dangling just enough information to provide constant cliffhangers which enticed me to breathlessly turn page after page with heart in mouth and libido fired up. Readers will thrill to Ms. Hart's revelations of the secret sensual club where members practice in erotic abandon, where voyeurism and anonymous sexuality rule. Mystery vies with sensuality, riveting this reader's attention.
THE PLEASURE OF SIN is an exciting novel that will captivate readers from first sentence to last. I could not put it aside. Intriguing characters, constantly escalating suspense, lyrical prose, and undercurrents of exotic sensuality make this a don't miss read. Run, do not walk, to your nearest outlet and buy THE PLEASURE OF SIN.
Coming Soon - Awaken the Passion by Verna Hargrove. Her novels, Glorious Companion and Mesopotamian Maiden have proven to be popular among friends and fans. Many Bible students have benefited from her book, Scaling New Heights.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. ~ Carl Jung Compassion automatically brings happiness and calmness. Then, even if you receive disturbing news, it will be easier to take, as your mind is still. ~ Dalai Lama Understand the obstructions you are putting in the way of love, freedom, and happiness and they will drop. Turn on the light of awareness and the darkness will disappear. Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you. ~ Anthony de Mello
