I also read a few of those rape novels when I was in college. When I began my career as a romance writer, my one clear promise was never ever to write anything that was abusive to women. I'm outraged that such a book could be published now and that any publisher would condone it. I have worked in organizations that rescue women from abusive men and I know what strength it takes for them to escape. Thank you for this response to what we can all hope was an editor's moment of idiocy and that editor has been disciplined.Leigh Verrill-Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907813970017115369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883281.post-60518474277711180782007-04-29T20:39:00.000-05:002007-04-29T20:39:00.000-05:00omigod, I am so with you on that.

I, too, read the rape fantasy romances when I was a teen and they were not helpful to an abused child in forming a picture of a healthy relationship. My current fantasy (which I am working on fulfilling) is to write a romance in which the "difficult" male proposes and the woman says "only if we get relationship counselling first."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322178404052180544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883281.post-61311015963209079412007-04-10T03:18:00.000-05:002007-04-10T03:18:00.000-05:00Oranghands, thanks so much for giving me the link....Oranghands, thanks so much for giving me the link. And Laura, fascinating discussion on Fallen Angel. I added my two cents worth, since people mentioned my rant(I admit it. I ranted). I'm going to post again now that there's been good dialogue in several places. I'm really glad. I just wanted to talk about the concept of genre romance and where the boundaries lie.Eileen Dreyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038098917893895205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883281.post-53769654462626200572007-04-08T18:15:00.000-05:002007-04-08T18:15:00.000-05:00orangehands, thanks for mentioning my post.
