Bikeduchess, I never thought of that before...whodunit/mystery novels do have happy endings also. I used to read whodunits several decades ago. Nowadays I might watch a British or Canadian police thriller on tv. But not much. I don't enjoy watching stuff involving mysterious deaths anymore.
I disliked horror my whole life. One woman at work, who is having problems sleeping, makes sure she doesn't watch any scary movies before she goes to bed. Otherwise she ends up with nightmares.
Yes, I feel sad. But especially sad because I worry about my niece and nephew.
It appears (to me), at glance that the world of romance writers, is full of women love to do their own thing. I bet for my niece who had jobs in a predominantly male field, is in for an interesting experience. Romance writing or other types of writing, including journalism, is getting tougher and tougher in terms of earning a decent wage.
She has ventured into writing a bk. that was even more than simply erotica. Jeez. Other stories which actually I think she must have fun writing, one involving an engineer ...she lives with her BF, an engineer. (and also she was an engineer herself)
