Of course, I'm not ready to trade in my husband for a newer model!<br /><br />Kathleen...I'm glad that Dianne's tour has ended on your blog. It got me back here for another visit to my fellow Jersey girl! You've given great recommendations for both Love on the Rocks and Jennifer's Garden.

I'm sorry to see it end! <br />Dianne, thank you so much for going the Indie route and publishing your book. Not only have you enriched my reading experience, but hopefully you have opened the minds of some people that hadn't "thought outside of the box" as much as we more liberated women need them to ;-)<br /><br />I wish you every golden opportunity and success! May your vegetable and literary gardens be fruitful and plentiful!<br /><br />Gena Robertson<br />robertsongena@hotmail.comGena Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637558465465103813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-60615163652575541332012-02-10T11:23:04.235-05:002012-02-10T11:23:04.235-05:00@Karen In my case I went the indie publishing rout...@Karen In my case I went the indie publishing route because you're right--publishers can be hard-nosed regarding their acceptance guidelines. One of my main problems is in writing romantic women's fiction, the question becomes "where do we shelf this book?" <br /><br />Crossing genres can be tough from a marketing perspective but in the end, I believe an enjoyable read is an enjoyable read. My hope is that readers of BOTH genres will give new authors like me a chance!<br /><br />I go nowhere without my readers! :)<br /><br />And thanks for following the tour--I've enjoyed our "chats!"Dianne Venettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924863315914593157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-72698972277617450852012-02-10T09:54:38.535-05:002012-02-10T09:54:38.535-05:00I like your 'dog share' plan.

I've enjoyed our daily visits. Gotta think of a new and different question for you...The older woman/younger man theme is not all that common in romance books and sometimes publishers are hard-nosed about the new and different. So, did you run into problems trying to get your story published?Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-55715747741047469342012-02-10T08:49:42.346-05:002012-02-10T08:49:42.346-05:00@MomJane Younger men, much more interesting. :) Pa...@MomJane Younger men, much more interesting. :) Part-time dog? Bit more complicated. :(<br /><br />We adopted our puppy and within the first year discovered we had not near enough time to devote to him. He needed a playmate and with the kids in school all day, me at my computer--him sitting there barking at me to come play--we realized we had a problem. He needed more than we could give him. A close friend of ours was looking for a "man dog" (aka constant dog companion) that he could bring to work, take to the lake fishing, go camping, etc. and offered to take Cody.<br /><br />Faced with leaving Cody at home all day until the kids were able to play with him or allowing him to live the "good life" with our friend, we opted for the latter. Now, we get to have Cody whenever we want--long weekends, over Christmas break, summer vacation, etc--and the dog is happy ALL the time.<br /><br />Sometimes, when you love someone (or animal) you have to do what's best for them and not yourself. It was a hard lesson for the kids, but they seem to be catching on. It works! (Mind you if Cody wasn't going to have a BETTER life than we could give him, we would have kept him home).<br /><br />@Gabby Enjoy the men of your age, enjoy the men who make you smile. In the end, it should be a pleasurable match. :) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Dianne Venettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924863315914593157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-45000798446329982542012-02-10T08:12:00.172-05:002012-02-10T08:12:00.172-05:00Like you said if men can have a relationship with ...Like you said if men can have a relationship with a younger woman? <br /><br />Then women should be able to as well, I of course have to read about either an older man younger woman relationship or older woman younger man relationship but hey I'm all for the right to choose whether one wants to have physical intimacies with someone older then them!<br /><br />I'm not all that experienced yet with men but for the moment I think I'll stick with men that are closer to my age range but who know how long that'll last! We all have our preferences and I know for a fact that these preferences will and often do change more then we may realize!<br /><br />I'm certain that I'll get into these kinds of book couple relationships as soon as I read a book featuring one of these relationship types!<br /><br />The post interesting, even though it's a little early where I live thanks for making me think!<br /><br />kakuchouakisame_19@yahoo.comGabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239198794692068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-18676131960628719362012-02-10T07:09:58.431-05:002012-02-10T07:09:58.431-05:00I find that men my age are boring, and act old.
