Have you ever had a life-altering experience? Mine took place when I survived a three-car accident as a young newlywed. Unable to return to a full-time job after months in the hospital, I found myself bored to tears sitting at home. Then my aunt handed me a romance novel and my love affair with books began. My all-time favorite author is still Kathleen Woodiwiss.
Hi, I’m BJ Wane, author of over 30 steamy romance/suspense books, wife, mother, and nana who loves books almost as much as dogs and my family. You would think, when I embarked on a writing career of my own, I would choose the historical genre since The Flame and the Flower tops my list of favorite and most memorable 
reads. Instead, I went with what I know, the contemporary genre, injecting a touch of suspense in each title as that is now my favorite genre to read. Ten years later, I am still amazed I finally saw my dream of success come true.
I confess I get bored easily, which compels me to constantly look for a different twist or theme when starting a new series. Picture yourself riding alongside a rugged cowboy across a wide open Montana range or being the recipient of his focused gaze out of steel blue eyes that matched the sky. Or a slew of protective cowhands riding to your rescue when you find yourself in trouble. When I embarked on my Cowboy Doms series, I never dreamed those hunky ranchers would end up being so popular. The success of that series prompted me to stay with cowboys, but with my new Cowboy Wolf Trilogy, I injected a touch of the paranormal, another genre I enjoy reading.
This trilogy will conclude next month and then I’ll start on a new cowboy series, but in the meantime, if you’d like a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card, tell me something about yourself or the books you like to read.
When I was young (teenage yrs) I loved Danielle Steele, Fern Michaels, and snuck some of my sister’s Harlequins. Then years later I fell in live with James Patterson’s Alex Cross series. I had stopped reading for a while then about 7 years started back with Nora Roberts books. I love any type of romance…suspense, contemporary, PNR, eroica. As long as they have great characters and a good storyline I’m in.
I love all those genres, and agree-a good story line and HEA and I’m a happy reader. Thanks for commenting.
I enjoy reading books about wolf shifters and vampires. In these trying times, paranormal is a great get away for me. I love hot, sexy cowboys, whether human or shifters. I do prefer my books to be hot, spicy romances with a suspenseful plots and ah-um horny cowboys. I haven’t read any of your books, but I am always adding new name to my growing list.
All of my books fit into one or more of your preferred categories! Thank you for commenting.
read whatever’s interesting
Thank you for stopping by.
My reading leans towards spicy romance whether that is historical, paranormal, contemporary, suspense, fantasy or Sci fi. The first romances I read where Harlequin romances when I was a bit under teen-aged. Have not looked back since. And it is good to have something divert my attention from reality for a time, it’s like taking a mini vacation.
It is wonderful that you could make the leap from romance reader to romance author!
Thank you for commenting. It seems we enjoy the same genres.
