Here’s what you can look forward to in the coming
months!
As you’ll see we have a Guest Theme and a Genre-ista
Topic for each month. We invite you to recommend authors who write in our Guest
Themes as Sarah and Judith are always looking for new-to-us authors.
June our guests are 20th Century
Historical Romance authors: Maggie Robinson, Anna Brentwood,
Margaret Tanner, Lauri Robinson and Eleri Grace. And the Genre-istas will
be sharing Wedding Stories. Judith
already has her June 7th post up “Say Yes To The Dress” but you’ll
have already read posts by Paty Jager, Luanna Stewart, Robin Weaver and Dora
Bramden before Judith’s day.
July our guests are Emerging
Romance Authors. What’s an Emerging Romance Author? One who has at
least 3 books published but not yet seven. In other words, fairly new to the
wide, wonderful world of publishing. At the writing of this blog post we’ve got
Kerry Blaisdell, Kathy Coatney and Andra Ashe signed
up. And Genre-istas will post about the one thing
they would change about their past and why. That should be an
interesting month.
And in August
we’ll share an “Adventure in Traveling.”
Hmm, Judith’s had several including ending up on a list of suspicious
international travelers. Wonder if she’ll expand on that one. While you read
about our travel adventures, our guests
will be Authors of Historical Romance From
Around The World.
September our Topic and Theme center
around The Craft of Writing. As a
reader let us know what you’d like to learn from us.
October we
celebrate Superhero/heroine
Romance and
the Genre-istas will be talking about Their Own Superhero/heroine.
Over the years we’ve settled into our November and December
topics so there’s nothing new here: November:
Holiday Reads is the Genre-ista topic and Holiday Romance Authors is our guest
theme.
December is our What’s New In Publishing theme. Our guests have included folks from Draft2Digital, Findaway Voices, Alli, as well as
a couple of people who stay on top of the publishing trends.
As the calendar shifts from 2019 to 2020, we head in to the last four
months before our 9th Blog-O-Versary.
We’d love to have your thoughts on topics and
themes you’d like to see. After coming up with topics and themes for
96 months, you can imagine how grateful the Blog Queens are for ideas.
And
to sweeten the request, leave your ideas and contact information in the
Comments. Those who do will be entered in a drawing for a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

Wow! What an exciting year ahead for RTG! My only ideas for subjects are: 1) Your favorite first line, or hook, in a book and why is it your favorite? 2) What do you do to relax, read crafts, travel, massage and why. 3) Funny story about family, Aunt, Uncle, mom, dad or children. and have you ever used it in one of your own stories?
That's all I got :))
Thanks Diana! Great ideas
As always, the Genreistas have a wide variety of interesting topics.
Ideas for themes? I always have lots I'd love to know. Here are a few.
1. Favorite characters and why--both the author's favorite one she's written and a favorite from another author she loves.
2. Time Tavel--If you could go to any time past or future, what would it be and why?
3. Best tips for moving forward with writing when the world seems to be pushing you backward.
4. Fave (or least fave) science discoveries and why--both past and present
5. A month on cross-genre writers and what makes it viable for them.
6. Children's book authors. I know you have at least a couple, but it seems we hear from them fairly rarely. If there aren't enough, perhaps those with children or grandchildren could recommend fave books in a specific age range.
7. Action & Adventure / Thriller. A category that crosses many genres. I'd love to hear from writers who write these kind of books and in what genre and what is it that they love about writing it.
8. Best uplifting books. I suspect toward the Fall of 2020 we will be mired in election coverage. It would be a great time to hear about uplifting books--fiction or nonfiction that will get us through the end of the year.
Thanks for your suggestions Maggie.!
