Angela James is the editorial director of Carina Press, Harlequin's digital arm. She was also with Samhain Publishing at one time. I met her in person when she came to speak at our RWA chapter in Nashville, many moons ago. Very intelligent and savvy woman.

Romance Writing: 5 Ways to Write Romance With Respect

I couldn't write a romance for toffee. My favourite romance so far remains 'Katherine' by Anya Seton....but that's as much a historical novel as a romance, Katherine and the Duke of Lancaster, John of Gaunt. There's an element of romance in mine, a few false starts and a sexy moment in an owl coop, but the novel isn't a romance, and it's left somewhat open at the end. Will they, won't they? I indicate that they probably will, but I didn't want a cosy ending and left it at that, with room for a sequel...or not. A mistake? Maybe.
