I wrote a romance novel. I had this thing in Middle School where poor gifted me read all the good books at the library and I discovered smut at garage sales. I was partial to the "Windswept" series or any red covered Harlequin or Silhoutte. (Desire? Temptation?). I was also into historical romances, especially if they involved pirates. Basically, the more humping the better. At one point (this possibly coincided with when my grandparents purchased me a sweet word processor), I decided I was going to be a romance novelist. My nom de plume was Bianca Lizano (we were just back from Costa Rica and I wanted to pay homage to Costa Rica. Lizano is their sauce they put on everything). I wrote away to Harlequin and Silhouette and they sent me back these "So You Want to Be a Romance Novelist" guides. I remember summarizing my amazing plot in the letters. Oh, the plot. It involved a hot vetrinarian named Niles, an amazing suburban house based on my aunt and uncles amazing suburban house (I dreamed of the suburbs on my 100 acre working hippie fancy pants veggie farm), it took place in Atlanta, NIles wore 501 button fly jeans and the heroine wore a lot of vintage dresses (much like the authress) and I think a lot of the plot revolved around how she was trying to get out of her relationship with a rich, older man (hence the amazing suburban house) and get wit Niles.
