My heroes are always ready, willing, and able to execute moves necessary to get themselves out of deep trouble. Ruth Glick Read Quote
In ages past, there was less of a dichotomy between good literature and fun reads. In the twentieth century, I think, it split apart, so that you had serious fiction and genre fiction. Ruth Glick Read Quote
People will say, ‘I really don’t like romance,’ or, ‘I don’t read it – at all!’ So how do they know? Weirdly, I think that the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ phenomenon introduced women to romance who would never have read it. And that means that they then go on to read my books, and that would be great. Ruth Glick Read Quote
I have the power to write these books where I invent characters that I really like, and it gets to come out the way they want it to come out, and I get to make it happen. Ruth Glick Read Quote
Is it better to go indie and make bigger profits on each book, or stick with a print publisher’s 6%-10% royalties? Since I never could figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up, I’m hedging my bets and working both sides of the street. Ruth Glick Read Quote
Not surprisingly, the chief way self-published authors get the word out about their books is through the Internet. Ruth Glick Read Quote
Of course, to publish something, you have to write it, polish it, then hire out the line editing, copy editing and cover design. After which, you pick your way through the minefield of conforming to the differing requirements of Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords, or hire someone to do it for you. Ruth Glick Read Quote
Unfortunately for me, most of the books I’d want to reprint were written for savvy publishers like Harlequin and Berkley who have held on to electronic rights. But I do have another option: Publish new e-books myself. Ruth Glick Read Quote
There’s a scene I particularly like in ‘Betrayed’ where Shane has been shot in the side. Yet he drives to a small airport, checks out the Rockfort plane and flies himself and Elena to safety. Only when he knows they are out of danger does he allow himself to sit down on the couch and admit he’s injured – to a horrified Elena. Ruth Glick Read Quote
