Forty-two
year old women don’t have adventures.
She’d just
be more appealing if she were thinner, taller and younger.
We’ll buy it
if you made her 25 and sexier.
Female
protagonists should NOT be flawed..
Why does she
eat so much? And that wine—seriously?
Can’t you…
No I can’t
and no I didn’t.

Hello Friends,
Author, Linda Stasi, has posted about her story of an adventurous, older woman and the manuscript rejections she received from agents and editors, because her protagonist didn't fit their expectations. Her first novel, a religious thriller, was eventually published and hit the Amazon Top 25 list.
Follow the link below to read about her struggles to sell her story, how she persevered through the judgements, and resisted making her character into a plastic, victimized pansy.
Have a happy weekend,
♥ Ashlyn

Older romance heroines…
“Are they too old or too serious to be shagged senseless by a debaucherous Duke or a sexy billionaire or a ruggedly ripped farmer?” Woah, the hot questions need answers.
