And it was so much fun! When it comes to reading, I have t admit I prefer third person in romance because of what I perceive as first's limitations, but I wouldn't NOT read a book because of who's telling the story.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447996151440578956.post-55073894661374258362014-06-01T07:43:10.904-07:002014-06-01T07:43:10.904-07:00I'm halfway through your Brides of Falconfell ...I'm halfway through your Brides of Falconfell and loving it, Grace! I expect to try first person, but for a contemporary rather than Regency -- off in the future somewhere, if I live long enough! In the 3rd-person-with-one-POV vein, I just have to mention Jane Austen, who did it REALLY WELL...Kerryn Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017011768158276736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447996151440578956.post-56322289770192887352014-06-01T05:06:35.937-07:002014-06-01T05:06:35.937-07:00Grace, my first book Tangled Memories was a Golden...Grace, my first book Tangled Memories was a Golden Heart finalist back in the day. It was first person. I couldn't sell it to Harlequin. It went the ebook route back 14 years ago when there really was no such thing as ebooks. Since then it has been published by 3 small presses. I love the book and the freedom it gave me. Since writing Tangled Memories, I've written a group of Medieval short stories like Phillipa Gregory -- not just first person but first person present tense! Last year I completed a contemporary Gothic like Tangled Memories. It is called Timeless. Because I'm better known for my third person contemporary romances, these books don't sell well. However, they are my favorite books of all the ones I've written. Strange, isn't it?Jan Scarbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485602579241881149noreply@blogger.com
