I want to reassure my readers that someone who finally and prudentlys makes that commitment in her 30's is mature enough to work at it and make it last. <BR/><BR/>I always picture your heroes and heroines as older too. Battle worn and weary sometimes.

I'd always figured she was in her 70s too. <BR/><BR/>And the age of the heroine really can lose me - so many historicals have 18 year old heroines who can solve the world's (or the tortured heroes') woes that I just want to roll my eyes. Okay, so I got married at 18, but sheesh, I probably caused more torment of my poor husband those first few years. And when I look at my 18 year old niece and her friends, there's no way I can see them as the heroines in a romance. Yes, there are mature 18 year olds out there, but I'm just not prepared to buy/read stories with heroines that young any more.<BR/><BR/>But then I'm now Norma Desmond's age.Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096818299653189737noreply@blogger.com
