So I'm appreciating this month's theme.<br /><br />Jewel, Valerie has always wanted me to write romances. What Liane is alluding to is a very rough draft she saw of one of my attempts at the genre: an interracial romance set in a small town on the Carolina coast in the 1990s. Right now it's a trunk novel, but it's a trunk novel that's often on my mind. (I promise you "Coastal" was just my placeholder name for the town. I would have thought of something better. Honest.)KeVin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14792797517571690942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-4350301809654325862015-11-20T15:08:18.054-05:002015-11-20T15:08:18.054-05:00I second what Jewel said.

I think it should make for a good backdrop for an interracial romance set in the early to mid 20th century (hint KeVin, hint).Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-50804452121438518542015-11-20T09:37:10.885-05:002015-11-20T09:37:10.885-05:00I think there is horror to be found everywhere.
