I think, but you’d have to ask the readers if they agree, I wrote a story about self-love more than a romance, and I think that’s why main character Lynn resonates with so many people.įor those who haven’t read it, “Survival instinct” is a two week peek into the life of Lynn, a woman who is used to living alone in the urban wilderness established after a long-forgotten war. Survival Instincts is a story about trust and human connection, about overcoming fear and pain with the help of another person. How the heck was I going to write “A Romance”? I didn’t want to write romance! Gay ladies, sure! Gay ladies being gay ladies together, sure! But romance? I hardly even read romance I grew up on hard sci-fi where the only mention of romance was a hint on the final page of the book. When I heard the advice, I panicked just a wee bit. There is something beautiful about falling in love with a new person in every book. She was right, of course, and I understand why. That the two terms are practically equated. When I started writing, a well-known author in the genre told me that contemporary romance sells best in lesfic. She’s giving away one signed copy of Survival Instincts.
