My Novels

After much thought, I have to decide to pull my novels out and start re-writing them, cleaning them up and then I am going to try whole-heartily to get them published.  Even if I never write another one, I want these three and a few short stories I'm writing to be published. 

I'm sure there will be comments and complaints about some of the content, but it is nothing that I am ashamed of having written.  It was a place in my life, that reflected the world, and I don't think there is anything really wrong.  The contemporary romances do reflect a life that doesn't really always happen.  Most of my characters are rich or in a few of them, but for the most part, it is just life.

I hope you won't judge me to be wrong in this matter.  I will be looking for comments, and support, and you will occasionally get to read a small excerpt from one of them. 

Thanks for being my followers.  I'll have some movie reviews soon.

What is Your Opinion

I have a dilemna and just want to get some opinions.  I have written three romance novels and I have not done anything with them since I wrote them, except one, which I tried several times to get published.  These were written some years ago, but I'm not ashamed of them, and they aren't pornographic.  They are however a reflection of a lost world, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I wrote them for the most part, when I wasn't in or attending church.  I no longer read romance novels, I read the occassional short story, or article in a magazine.  I would like the opinion of my readers, especially those that are Christians.  Do you think it is wrong to read or write/publish a romance novel? 

My novel does depict intimacy between a husband and wife, but not graphic and not really detailed.  So I really need some help here.  Do I just throw them away and forget them?  I spent a lot of time on them and although I know they need some work, I really don't want to see them ditched.  Any solutions?  Opinions? Help?

Love, L
