Several authors who have been reviewed on AAR have appeared there, such as Catherine Coulter, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Sandra Brown, Karen Slaughter, and Philippa Gregory. However, I think they were included as Mystery or Fiction writers, not as Romance.

I lived in Baltimore for four years and always had a conflicting event during the National Book Festival. Although Paradise is lovely, the literary connections are limited to RWA’s Aloha Chapter which actively promotes all genres across the islands.

My one truly major beef with the festival has been that year after year they snub romance authors. I’ve always put it down to literary snobbery on the part of organizers, but I think they would have a fabulous turnout if romance was featured alongside the other genres there.
