5.0 out of 5 stars Exxcellent Book For Aspiring Romance Writers, August 9, 2005
I found this book to be very useful for romance writers. It contains much insight to the writing genre. I have been writing for about 10 years and I found information in this book that I didn't know. I would highly recommend this book to anyone writing romance.
