I think that in this article RLH came across like a phony, sanctimonious, preachy weirdo. I give no slack and no excuses for this one, sorry, Lori. I am a writer and I really don't care what RLH thinks about romance novels, but the things she said convinced me she is trying desperately to promote herself in the inspirational market and using a divisive tactic to it. (Oh, if only I were as successful as Dee Henderson, no?)
What's REALLY interesting is that just last year Robin Lee Hatcher won one, if not two, RITA awards from RWA and she was THRILLED TO TEARS (many, many tears). Why wasn't that in that newspaper???????
Ryan--the wench who loves sex scenes and so far has done okay. Whew!
: An author just sent me a link to an article in the Idaho Statesman about Robin Lee Hatcher. In it she talks about her move from writing romance to writing inspirational women's fiction. She also basically disowns her romances; the article says she lists her romance books on her Web site under the caveat that she does not recommend them.
: The author who sent me the link mentioned that she thought it was sad that a former RWA President would denigrate the genre in this manner.
