Romantic Suspense anyone?

Hello!

I enjoy reading romantic suspense. The MS I'm working on now is in that genre.
I don't do strange (at least to me )characters or other world people though.

It would be fun to have a group just for this genre. Count me in, if I fit

I'm plotting a romantic suspense now. It will be my first time writing in the subgenre, but I am excited about it.

I'm also editing a romantic suspense right now which I'm really enjoying.

I think I'd enjoy such a group

I've written a few. They are, by far, the hardest books to write for me. Trying to work nookie in while they're on the run and have it not seem absurd is difficult. Oh, we're two doors away from the bad guy, I must suck your peen now! no no, don't make a getaway, I want you now.

They are hard!

The PNR I'm writing right now sort of turned into one. I'm going to plod through to the end and see if it's salvageable, but I'm going to have to be more careful about plotting the next book in the series. This definitely isn't my niche.

I've written a novella once. I've tried writing in the genre since then but I've been a bit unsuccessful. They are really hard to write. I do like reading them a lot though. So, I think having a discussion group about them would be a great idea.

I have one coming out in July. I usually do paranormal, but the suspense is fun and a nice change of pace.

I just finished what I plotted out as a contemporary romance. I was writing up my submission email when my husband pointed out I might want to consider putting the genre as romantic suspense since 3/4 of the book was dedicated to a botched kidnapping attempt, followed by a high speed car chase and roof top shoot-out....

The characters still managed some snuggle time though.

Count me in if you think DH might be right .

I write romantic suspense (I have a novel and a short story out right now)! I'd be interested for sure!

Interesting. I have a straight-up contemporary romance but it does have a strong suspense element (reporter and photog go undercover to investigate a cult). I have been reluctant to consider it suspense because I don't know that I understand how to pace and plot it correctly. I'd definitely be interested in learning more about how to write in the genre!

Wonderful!
So how would you all prefer to work it? Through a private email loop? Or something else?

It doesn't really matter to me.

If you're open for one more, I'd love the opportunity to mix with you all.

All my writing is geared toward the romantic suspense end, similar to the thrillers written by the likes of Julie Garwood, Karen Robards and Sandra Brown.

Personally I really don't enjoy email loops because I find the format so hard to follow. Why not just do it here?

Yeah, email loops are usually active for about a week, then everyone gets irritated. I'd just do it here, or a yahoo group if you're worried about privacy, or a FB group.

I'm fine with just having it here. But that's just me.

I'd be more likely to be involved in it if it is here. Of those other options Facebook is the only possible bearable one for me I belong to yahoo groups because I have to for a couple of things, but I would not want to join another one I find them so annoying it takes forever to find the original message that people are replying to and that's not fun.

I agree, here sounds good. In fact we could start... RIGHT NOW.

Either works for me! No preference.

I air my dirty laundry all the time so public or private doesn't matter to me.

I'm fine either way. It doesn't really matter to me.

So! What's everyone working on? I'm doing edits on my female bodyguard story.
