I am a romantic novelist. There. I’ve said it. But far from being embarrassed to admit it, I’m proud to stand up and say I write romantic fiction, even though people sometimes respond by asking how many I ‘churn out’ a year or when I’m going to write a ‘proper book’. Us romantic novelists get a lot of stick. Our books are called ‘fluffy’ if they’re even a little bit humorous, or ‘trashy’ if they dare to include sex, or are simply just dismissed as unimportant.
