Hi Sidney, I am new to putting myself out there, and to be honest, I have never gotten much support from family or friends when (the very few times I have) told them I wrote paranormal romance. I'd admire you. It's takes bravery to stand up and not only love what you do, but own it. Your story really inspired me to keep my head held high. And I swear...if one more person says, "Oh so you write another vampire story huh?" with disgust in their voice, I'm gonna all Chuck Norris on them! Because, lets face it, obviously they've spent more than moment perusing our genre, else they wouldn't even know what paranormal was...So BOO to that mean dude who dared to say those things to you, and YAY you! Because in that conversation, who is the published writer...? Oh yeah...YOU are! :)
