Back to the beginning...
Today I received a proposition! no, it's not a spam email from some dating site. The promoter of an Italian Literature Festival, with a fondness for romance, asked me to held a one hour panel to the next festival on How to Write an Harlequin Romance and Being Published... well, I'm surprised, since first I'm not a writer and so I don't know nothing on How to Write and second I'm not the "classical" Harlequin romance reader...
The fact is that finally, in Italy, Italian romance authors begin to have an audience (more than 90% of the romance in Italy is translated romance from UK and USA), and the Festival wants to organize an intense workshop to help them.
I think that I will accept the offer, I'm quite an ego-woman and I like to talk of romance, so... I need to dust off my Harlequin romance remembrance and maybe, if in the audience someone will ask me what I actually read...

Ma dai davvero si terrà a Matera? Caspita in un paio d'ore di macchina sono lì! Quindi a settembre prossimo, cioè tra un annetto scarso! Ma che bello! Per allora avrò finito anche Roulette e di lì a poco starà uscendo il monografico tutto suo! Che bello sarebbe se te lo portassi di persona! <3<3<3

P.S. ma la smetti di regalarmi i libri? Io sono drogata e non posso rifiutare, ma ogni tanto potrei anche comprarli :-)
