I thought I would list some links regarding the Conference that might interest others.
Dallas Morning News Article - Sat. July 14, 2007
Houston Chronicle, Saturday July 14, 2007 – see comments section… You’ll see what I mean.
KLTV.com (Tyler, Texas) Associated Press Article
Dallas Observer (They enjoy trashing things they don't understand.)
A link to the most obnoxious article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – June 27, 2007 - Thank you Jo Leigh, Jacquie D’Alessandro, Megan Hart, Nora Roberts, Bertrice Small, Linda Morelli, and Sandra Richards for the commentary to educate all of those poor delusional souls.
Here is what Nora Roberts specifically had to say in response to this **cough, cough*… editorial/commentary:
By Nora Roberts July 2, 2007 4:16 PM
Jeez, I’ve been sending a `distorted message’ to women for years by writing about relationships and commitment, about overcoming obstacles and celebrating the discovery and value of love. Thank God somebody clued me in! And all this time I thought the message was love is a vital part of the human condition. Millions of women—who are, of course, irrational, weak-minded and unhappy—have become dangerously unbalanced. Marriages destroyed as they toss aside their husbands in search of fictional characters.
What utter crap.
Neither am I writing female porn. Since when is a novel highlighting two people falling in love, and enjoying each other sexually, pornography?
Oddly, I expect my readers to know the difference between reality and fiction, between pornography and sexuality—whatever their gender.
Pocket Books talked this up at their author signing session:
