I imagine you are right and a number of people would have emailed her directly.

I have to admit when I told my work collegues I was writing a novel and they wanted to know what I was working on, I hesitated for a moment before I said a romance. Sadly soem people do have stereotypes of what a romance reader is like- the stats of course completely contrdict the stereotype!

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it really strange that nobody has commented on this blog?
When I first read it, I do admit that I felt a bit reticent about it.
I have mentioned this on previous blogs, about admitting to people that I read Mills and Boon. I would only ever chat to other known readers about it.
Does that smack of cowardice or not being confident enough to tackle the inevitable come-back from a non reader? We all know what we would be told: ‘You don’t live in the real world, get real!! Or: ‘Read a real book, why don’t you!!
Can I just say, I, and everyone here, no doubt, read other books as well, not just M&B.
Whether I would have the guts to talk to an editor, about my obsession, which has lasted nearly 30 years, I honestly don’t know.
I feel really strange about it, and to be honest it’s made me ask questions about myself.
If you could speak to any of my friends, they would tell you that their impression of me, is that I am a modern, confident woman. In fact, I was told last week: ‘But Kar, you’re a grown-up!!
How does everyone else feel? I hope I’m not on my own. Because if I am, oh my, I will need a major re-think.

Or, I’ve just thought of something – perhaps you’ve all just e-mailed her direct, without posting a comment.

Best wishes
