I now have a little writing 'hobby'. I am the
Charlotte Romance Examiner (please don't laugh
)
This is what you get when a romantic suspense author makes an attempt at journalism. I was supposed to write about romantic spots in Charlotte and boring stuff like that, but the fictional writer in me reared its ugly head and I've put my spin on the subject. After about the third or fourth "Eat at Joes, it is romantic", you're going to start to lose your audience. So, I reconsidered the parameters, which were to focus on romance, and inject some local flare.
I created something I titled, "Chance Encounters", where instead of a documentary about a restaurant, you will find a three or four paragraph snippet of fiction taking place in that eatery. I thought, why not make the reader feel what it's like to be here? Make the reader think that it is possible that they can find romance if they eat in this restaurant.
Who's to say if they're going to like it, but
I'm having fun!
If you get a chance, stop by and take a peek.
