“I’ve noticed that one of the problems with romance novels is that too many young women think they are 'how-to' books.” Vince Mooney

About Me
- Vince
- Born in Long Island, New York, have lived in New Jersey, Connecticut, Arizona, California, and Oklahoma. Lived three years in Italy and Germany while in USAF.(Air Police: K-9 section). Now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Married after whirlwind romance to same wife for over 30 years. Currently run my own real estate school in Oklahoma. Like to study foreign languages for a few months just to see how they work. Also like Latin and giving speeches. I’ve taught Philosophy, Advertising, Property Management, and many real estate subjects at the University, Community College, and Technical School level. Now writing non-fiction book on the Romance genre. I was trained to be a philosopher and history teacher but have worked mostly in advertising, marketing, and real estate.
Oh, that quote makes me smile - despite the fact that it might hit a little too close to home, on occasion! ;) Thank you for the important reminder that while romance books can have a lot to offer, they're fiction and they don't offer a manual for real-life romance. The warning is duly noted! :)

Hi Amber:
ReplyDeleteThis quote came to me when I bought a romance novel at my pharmacy. The pharmacist asked if I actually read romances or was it for my wife. I said yes, I read them. She said, “I used to read romances when I was young, but I found out life was not like that.” She seemed very said.
I said, “These are not ‘how-to’ books. They are feel good books. They always make me feel good.
