[...] So why this invisibility of the most popular form of women’s writing and reading, that of romance – a genre which reportedly accounts for over 50% of all paperback sales?

I sent you a tweet but wanted to comment on the blog too. Can I just say – Wow Kat! What a great gig and you obviously did a wonderful job. I would have loved to have been in the audience. If only it was on You Tube – I’d love to hear those excerpts!
So, congratulations and well done. :)
