I read quite a bit of it myself - I'm a big fan of Julie Garwood's more recent pieces, beginning with Heartbreaker, and I also like Linda Howard and several other authors of that nature. I've noticed, though, that they almost always heavily involve the military or law enforcement or secret agents. Are there any examples of romantic suspense out there that don't involve these elements?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-33691994139128529042007-09-06T11:47:00.000-04:002007-09-06T11:47:00.000-04:00What about dark, scary, sexy paranormal historical...What about dark, scary, sexy paranormal historicals?Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-23432199265641776772007-09-06T08:01:00.000-04:002007-09-06T08:01:00.000-04:00Jessica,Thanks for the update.

It's like with regencies. There used to be "regencies" and then came Mary Jo Putney's historical regencies. Now, the field is mostly historical regencies and regency-regencies are a smaller sub-group.<BR/><BR/>*sigh*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-3715601861776129202007-09-06T01:13:00.000-04:002007-09-06T01:13:00.000-04:00I'm so envious of your wine, Jessica.

But for that one,I'd make an exception.<BR/>I'm really pleased to hear that historical romance is making a comeback. I've always loved it and the more historical, the better.<BR/>Can you give us a little more about what defines a "historical" voice from a "conetemporary" voice in historical romance?<BR/>I gotta go pick up a book by Elizabeth Hoyt.
