I think Rudan treats the whole interview with the disdain it deserves, the questions are quite shallow and reveal a lot about attitudes to female writers.Messy_Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793938555354522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817560476597166820.post-3032992176601802842015-08-12T10:41:41.464+10:002015-08-12T10:41:41.464+10:00Hello, nice review :) what a head-reeling book.

Well, romance writers, most of them are women, use a lot of vulgarities in their writings and thus get their books considered as trash. I don't think it's about usual or unusual, it's about how people see it. But I have to agree with Rudan on her quote that she thinks of herself as more of a human being than a woman. People have to start to think that way, I think. erdeaka9https://www.blogger.com/profile/16722103117319417471noreply@blogger.com
