Yet, here we are, still going strong, still celebrating diversity
in Romance stories (and yes, stories with strong romantic elements, LOL), still
reaching an international audience of Romance lovers.
In founding RTG, Judith and I had adopted a Field of Dreams attitude: If you build the blog you envision, readers
will come.
We researched blogs and blogging, built the site, invited a
diverse group of talented writers representing many Romance sub-genres to join
us, invited guest bloggers, depended on family and friends for support, promoted
this scary new venture and took a huge leap of faith—faith in ourselves, faith
in the amazing writers who signed on to be Genre-istas and faith that unity in
diversity appeals to a wide audience.
And the readers?
They came.
