I think though as you say there is obviously a huge market for these shorter romance novels.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-35353986007423425852012-04-04T22:23:33.044+02:002012-04-04T22:23:33.044+02:00Hi Linda,

I did not even know there was a sub-genre called medical romance...makes sense though because doctor and hospital shows are big on TV.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864587350512328594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-56777971755784545862012-04-03T17:05:06.728+02:002012-04-03T17:05:06.728+02:00It was kind of her Susan and I appreciated her doi...It was kind of her Susan and I appreciated her doing so.

I hope you feel that although I admit to preferring something more substantial myself, I made it clear that you do a good job within the market niche. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to read one of your books.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-3281715513992124662012-04-03T16:58:32.330+02:002012-04-03T16:58:32.330+02:00I know what you mean Diane, like you I really have...I know what you mean Diane, like you I really have nothing against them, each to our choice as it were.

Mills and boon medicals are pretty short between 50000-55000 words.

Like you, I haven't read these books for about 30 years. They were light reads then, and always much of a muchness, but ideal if that is what you wanted. I'm certainly not a book snob at all and, if people enjoy them, that's good. At least they are reading!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.com
