You floated the idea of a paranormal on the podcast, and I think you should do it!

I enjoy your books for the characters but also the creative scenes, be it spin-the-bottle from "For You & No One Else" or hide-and-seek from "Off the Clock". Paranormal would give you so much room to be creative!

My favorites of your books are the older erotica. They are well above most books in the genre, and the characters were relatable with more everyday-ish problems and backstories. I also struggle with contemporary romance because, as a 40 year old married woman, I simply don’t understand the world of dating these days. It seems like Gen Z has very different ideas than when I was doing it 20 years ago! So I now find myself reading more non-contemporary romances, be them historical, space fantasy, etc.

Whatever you write, I’ll read ;)

Thanks so much, EK! I really appreciate the input! And yes, I think paranormal definitely gives more wiggle room to be creative. :)

Hello Roni, I just want to say that I love your whole catalogue and have many a title in my kindle, I would like more domme/dom stories . I love all the ones you have now but I want more of that. The ones you currently have lefy me wanting more of this subject matter. So that is my preference. I also love your mmf stories also. More of this and thank you for your consideration of this. Monica.

The way U write is impressive to me either way meaning contemporary or not

but if it wasn't for 'Melt into U' and 'Not until U' I would look for other authors who resembled that kind of magnetism and attraction in the characters of their story

I found you thru erotic romance and I'd love to see more of that from you. I enjoyed The Ones Who Got Away a lot but I really, really love the Loving on the Edge and the Pleasure Principle series. My personal request 😘 would be for you to write more about Hunter and Devon from Yours All Along. I still remember internally screaming when I got to the end of that book because I needed more. LOL

Also, I admit that I'm pretty happy you're going indie as traditionally published ebooks are getting so expensive.

Aww, thank you! I probably won't write more about the Loving on the Edge characters just because of challenges marketing it when I don't own the rights to the original books, however, I can definitely write more stories in that vein. Interesting fact, back when Hunter and Devon's story came out, it was ebook only because, at the time, I wouldn't have been able to get a m/m erotic romance as a big print release with a major publisher. I'm so glad times have changed on that!

I re-read Yours All Along when I want a quick warm and fuzzy. I love that pair and story! Interesting to know the publishing history.

Hello Roni, Congrats on going independent with your writing. As I have told you before, I wish you the success of Nora Roberts because you to me are that good and worthy of that level of success to me. I would like more Female domme/Dom stories like all the one that you have written about. This by far is my favs of your writing for personal reasons, but YOUR WHOLE CATALOGUE IS A KEEPER AND I HAVE A LOT OF YOUR TITLES ON MY KINDLE TO PROVE THIS. But those stories were the alpha males are trying to figure out their sexuality and the women there to help them just really does it for me. You do such a wonderful job with this subject matter that I was just craving more stories like that. I love your writing no matter what and just patiently waiting for more. You Rock and I love that you write. Thank you for your Talent and Best Regards to you and your family. Monica T.

Aww, thanks so much, Monica! You're so sweet. And female domme stories (noted!). I do have a number of bonus short stories that were in the backs of only the print copies of some of my Loving on the Edge books, and many of them had submissive male heroes. I actually have the rights back to those, so I may bundle them in a set and release them in ebook for the first time. :)

You are very welcome. Looking forward to the anthology. Never stop. Best Regards Monica.

Your erotic romances were what pulled me in, and I would be ecstatic to see more in that vein. That doesn't mean I'm not thoroughly enjoying your current series - just started the 3rd book. Looking forward to whatever comes out next!

Wondering what it'd be like if you wrote some sort of a suspense story!

Expand full comment

I like reading suspense but it's more challenging for me to write since I'm a character-driven writer vs a plot driven. But my very first book Crash Into You did have a suspense plot. I remember they were first marketing it as erotic suspense. (Then they realized, oh, wait, this is more erotic contemporary romance with a suspenseful thread.)

It was the erotic romance that got me reading your books, but I enjoy everything you write! I am always recommending your books to other people to read. You are one of my favorite authors and can't wait to see what you come out with next.

Roni, I'm so happy your sabbatical brought you some clarity. I was mainly trad for a decade, and until 2020, the thought of being out of contract terrified me. Then, I went hybrid with a book I loved, but it was a little too far out of the box for the publishers we pitched. I'd had some experience with publishing reverted backlist titles, but learning to navigate the indie process from start to finish has given me much more confidence in my creative choices. That being said, Trad publishing has also taken me in some directions I never expected to go, and helped me realize I'm not confined to a lane. Like you, I'm excited to finish my current contract so I can write the book that's running around in my head. Whether it sells to a publisher or not, I know I can put it out into the world and be proud of the risks I've taken. I'm excited for you and can't wait to see what you do next!

Thanks, Maggie! I'm so happy to hear you've found the balance that works for you. :) Like you, I've had a lot of good experiences with traditional publishing, but I am looking forward to having more flexibility with indie.

I vote for erotic romances and I would especially love for you to continue your Pleasure Principle series.

Thanks! I won't be continuing earlier series since it's very difficult to market a series when the publisher still owns the rights to some (can't change price, covers, etc.) but I can write something in a similar vein. :)

I love your contemporary romances, but could see you write an 80s romance as well. I'd definitely be down for that :-)

Loved everything of yours I have read. I don’t generally read historical romance (I had to draw the line somewhere!), though I will say that if you write it, that would be enough reason to read it.
