What absolute bull. She's ashamed of her romances, but she doesn't want her "romance fans seeing this and shooting" her?
Us romance readers are such a violent and scary bunch.

She should be ashamed, not of her romances but of not having the integrity to stand up for her beliefs. There are tons of
romances that have Christianity in them (I should know being an atheist and trying to avoid them) and the only ones I can
recall that even touch on a different religion are JAK's which have a slight Buddhist element. Even the ones that deal with
Native Americans try to imply that they actually believe in God.

There are also tons of romances that can be categorized as "kisses" and "one foot one the floor". Being one of those
addicted "to the sexual fantasies in romance fiction" I also try to avoid those.

I think her real problem was not that editors forced her to put sex in and take religion out, but that she knew they didn't
sell as well if they didn't have sex in them and instead of sticking by her beliefs, she compromised them to sell more books.

Just my loud mouthed opinion of course...
