It's true for many genres, but especially romance. I looked up the synopsis for this book on Amazon - it looks amazing! I love science in romance books - it makes the book so much more interesting. Thank you for the very ncie interivew and giveaway, Ms. Valerie!<br /><br />Alyssa <3<br />Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-3709404178889593602012-11-24T16:55:59.420+11:002012-11-24T16:55:59.420+11:00Birthright sounds like a great read!

Glad to see you here Juanita, thanks for your kind words. Hi Patti, George Takei is adorable, isn't he? That amazing laugh! <br /><br />Hi Lee Christine and Jane, yes pushing the boundaries keeps the writing fresh and challenging. I'm so glad you like the cover of Birthright. Corvallis Press did me proud.<br /><br />Yes Rachel, two former Valerie Parv Award winners here is wonderful. Many other Lovecats were also runners-up or finalists at different times. This mama cat loves her kittens LOL And waves to Catslady, gotta like that name. Hope you enjoy reading Birthright too.

Did you know that I saw you being interviewed on one of the current affairs show many years ago ... you planted the idea that maybe I could write a romance! So thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities! I have several of your non-fiction books, including The Art of Romance Writing - which I originally got in the folder form! It was (and still is) excellent!<br /><br />Great interview and great advice! And I'm looking forward to getting my copy of Birthright too!<br /><br />Hugs!<br />Sharon<br />Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-18155460948142423652012-11-21T19:02:09.941+11:002012-11-21T19:02:09.941+11:00It's so lovely to have you visiting the kittie...It's so lovely to have you visiting the kitties, Valerie.

Wow, tough question you pose. I'm dying to see my movie in production, of course. I'd also like to write a manga as opposed to having my work translated. I have scripted a comic strip for a cartoonist friend (he gave me a credit IN the strip) but writing a new manga would be uber cool.Valerie Parvhttp://www.valerieparv.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-40715798076252974912012-11-21T17:12:13.873+11:002012-11-21T17:12:13.873+11:00Great interview!
