Title: The Passionate Pen: New Zealand's Romance Writers Talk To Rachel
Description: Hazard Press 1998 Paperback, 176pp. They are read for escapism, for relaxation, for sheer pleasure. Many people think they could toss one off and make big money as a result. They put this New Zealand on the map in a way few other activities or events can match. They are romance novels - and the New Zealand women who write them are the subjects of this surprising, funny and often moving book. New Zealand's romance writers show themselves to be women of character, strong opinion, humor and realism. As well as sharing their insights into the writing process and talking about their own lives, the authors who feature in The Passionate Pen represent the changes in feminist attitudes over half a century - without exception, they regard their books as empowering to women - and the developments in the style of romantic writing over that vital period. Owner's Name inside. (ISBN: 9781877161360). Good.
