Romance books are more than ripe for television


Hello Friends,

Have you ever read a fantastic romance novel and wished someone would make the story into a movie or perhaps a television series? With romance being the top-selling genre of books world-wide, I have to wonder why we don’t see more books adapted for the small and big screens. It doesn’t make sense. Readers love their books, and watching the character’s romance brought to life would be a sweet luxury, addictive...binge watching…lots of heroine-led stories…won’t complain.

I’ve watched a few of the cable channel Hallmark movies in my time, because I didn’t want to watch violence or crime shows. During 2018, I strayed over to Netflix to check out the entertainment program there.

Anyway, there’s good news coming out of Sony Pictures Television and “The Ripped Bodice” bookstore in Los Angeles. Yay! The two have partnered to develop romance-focused projects for television. Woo-hoo! The sister duo of Bea and Leah Koch are romance book sellers who have a unique connection to romance readers and authors. Romance novels are waiting to be made into shows and the Koch sisters are poised to make a difference.

Read all about it over at,
Praise the romance novel gods!

It’s a match made in, well, a romance novel.

Have a happy weekend,
Ashlyn
