I'm a young, aspiring author like most of you, and would much appreciate ANYONE who is willing to read my recently-completed romance novel entitled "Alexandria". Please read and rate, maybe even comment, and I'll surely return the favor for any of your work :)

I know exactly what you mean when you say that you write romance novels. I am a total sap, and even though some romances are a bit cheesy, I write them anyway. I have told my friend before, when I created one of my characters, to slap me if they fell in love, because I knew I was going to do it otherwise.

Thanks. None of my novels are romance. They are the two that I told my friend to slap me if my characters fell in love, because it wouldn't fit with the story... that's how much I need to keep my from making a character fall in love, and I'm still debating over a character who I told myself would never fall in love. Since I'm hopelessly sappy... just out of curiosity, what is the plot line of "Alexandrira?"

The basic plot is to uncover what a true, realistic and seamlessly flowing romance can really be; taking a break from vampires and fantasy, creating a simple but elegant love story drawn into pure sequences. The story does form its own twists and events, but the general idea is to relate to the heartache, confusion or situations and otherwise melt into the story. I promise, if you're a romance readr, you won't be dissappointed :) and if you are, then I'll improve. But check it out! :D
