She has different books at Amazon that's not on Smashwords. I've already bought every single one. I am a huge fan of historical westerns and today they just aren't published much at all. You got a ton of regencies, paranormals and alot of modern westerns but only a handful of historical westerns are put out each year. So I grab all the backlist titles I can find of this genre as they are put on Smashwords and Amazon.

Regency romances are a subgenre of romance novels set during the period of the English Regency or early 19th century. Rather than simply being versions of contemporary romance stories transported to a historical setting, Regency romances are a distinct genre with their own plot and stylistic conventions that derive from the works of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, and from the fiction genre known as the novel of manners. In particular, the more traditional Regencies feature a great deal of intelligent, fast-paced dialog between the protagonists and very little explicit sex or discussion of sex. **** So I got Marrying Miss Shylo, download it, convert, send it to the Kindle. I open it, and it opens on Chapter 2. So I go to the Table of Contents, and the first entry is... Chapter 2. So, I try going to the first page, and finally I can start reading the book at the beginning. Whoever did that should be shot, really. |

Calibre now has a new option to output to html using the htmlz which you can renamed to zip to open it. Inside is a html file which I just open it up in my editor like Word and fix it pretty and then reconvert it. It's sad though some of these books cost as much as new one and the formatting is a huge mess. @Nyssa, You have your classics Regency books like Wikipedia describes and then you have the ones being published today from mainstream publishers. They have alot of sex in them and they are more romance then plot. There are some funny witty ones out there but most of them has modern dialogue or the plots and characters are so cookie cutter they all begin to blend in after awhile. Don't get me wrong I love romances set in the Regency period as long as they are true to their historical period and there is good characterization but those are few and far between. |
