I get enough violence every day when I check my news sources, and I don't need to read about it in the books I read for entertainment. I do put some violence in my books when it is necessary to further the point of the story or to set up a new and strange situation that the reader may not have considered, but I try to keep those scenes brief. But of course every reader is different. I've never read a Stephen King book, but I've read every book by Jayne Ann Krentz. I don't usually read the Nora Roberts suspense books, except for the JD Robbs, but I enjoy her romances, even those that are not well written.
