Gynger, as you know, Momma and I champion an AWESOMELY told story for a BBW (hence the never-ending challenges at BTP and you not being allowed to step away from your laptop...lol) It's one of those things, readers and reviewers are a finnicky (sp) lot. But we shall always prevail, as long as there are awesomely sharp and original stories told for BBW's, then WE at BTP will publish them and get the "skinny" mindset for Romance, Erotica to hopefully give us BIG girls a chance.<br />Keep up the amazing work and set this ish on FYRRRRRRE! :)<br />Jeanie JohnsonJeanie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321197230781751837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262133499171669497.post-13796176130500436202012-12-25T11:29:18.100-08:002012-12-25T11:29:18.100-08:00Everyone deserves a happily ever after!

Shhhh...don't tell, but I have a guilty little tendency to ignore some descriptions anyway and just picture myself as the heroine! heheShirelle Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817716870408100243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262133499171669497.post-45780666470969843292012-12-24T15:14:07.382-08:002012-12-24T15:14:07.382-08:00Us 'thick' women appreciate picking up a b...Us 'thick' women appreciate picking up a book and seeing 'us' portrayed.

Most of my characters are real people, people that you might see or know in your daily life. I completely understand how people want to escape into a story and find their characters completely different from themselves.<br /><br />I had gotten a review about a couple of days ago from someone and it was also a low rating as well. They basically called my heroine, "The heroine is a tall Lane Bryant wearing waitress" Which was honestly the most hilarious comment I ever read. <br /><br />Some folks have to remember that not every woman has to be a small sized woman for the story to be a beautifully done.Jamallah Bergmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323795859008468059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262133499171669497.post-69006567620095725272012-12-24T13:22:35.586-08:002012-12-24T13:22:35.586-08:00Thank you Wallecia.

I personally don't think there are enough romances out right now. Not to mention, it's nearly impossible to find pictures of thick women for romance covers and finding a black one is damn near impossible. I hate it, but we try to make due with what we have.
