About This Newsletter

A banner for the Romance/Love newsletter.


Armistice Day. 11 Nov 1918. The end of fighting for World War I. The Armistice treaty was signed on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. And despite war, love finds a way to flourish. This month's newsletter takes a look at love in war.

Letter from the editor

This week's editor's picks have some wonderful stories of how love survives in war. From the earliest wars to the Iraq War, love has found a way to survive.

What does war inspire? It's an opened question for sure, but I'm going to narrow my response toward romance writing.

War inspires the best of us. It makes us tap into our courage, our inner strength, and it gives us hope. When writing a wartime romance, you'll find the above elements are important when crafting your story.

Remember, a romance should always contain two basic elements:

#1 A "central" love story

#2 An emotionally satisfying ending. (also known as HEA or Happily Ever After).

VINTAGE ROMANCE

There's a growing subgenre of romance called "vintage romance." It takes place between 1900-1970. (anything after 1970 is considered contemporary.) It's also refered to as 20th Century Historical. You can find most romances set during World War I and War II in this subgenre.

I've found in the wartime romances I read, they capture a sense of hope that things will be better as well courage and inner strength.

FEEDBACK: What are some of your favorite war time romances? Have you read Dr. Zhivago? Seen the movie? What do you think of the romance?
