Colleen Connally

Today I want to compare Historical Romances to Regency Romances. There are so many sub-genres of Romance. For that reason I thought I would clarify what I write when I write under Colleen Connally. My books under Colleen Connally are set in England. Seductive Secrets is set after the American Revolution; Broken Legacy happens during the French Revolution. My upcoming release, Seductive Lies , happens during the Napoleonic Wars. All my books then would be technically be considered Georgian Period. Although, Seductive Lies does lapsed over to the beginning of the Regency Period. The Regency Period only existed for a little more than 10 years, 1810-1820. In today's publishing world, defining one's genre is important in the sales of one's book. The money in romances at the moment is with Contemporary Romances. A couple of years ago it was Paranormal Romances. But with Historical Romances, the most money is made if you label your book a Regency. AMAZON    ...

Time for the beach, pool, and quiet evenings on the porch with a large glass of lemonade. How about a good book to take along. Not a bad way to spend a day to escape from the world for a short time. This summer I'm going to be busy finishing off Seductive Lies, Secret Lives Book Three. Then my attention will turn to Whispers of a Legend, Part Five and the conclusion of the Winds of Betrayal series. Next year, I also hope to have started my next series, Belle of Charleston. A couple of changes are coming also to my series. The Cry For Freedom, hopefully, will soon be free everywhere. Have to wait for it to appear on Barnes and Noble free. Smashwords is slow at times. Embrace of the Enemy is coming off of KDP. It will available everywhere after May 22. I'm also considering taking Seductive Sec...

Once upon a time. Happily ever after. Dreams come true. Prince Charming.  All words associated with fairy tales. Stories I loved and grew up with. I love happily ever after. I believe that dreams can come true. When I was a little girl, I would go to sleep at night and dream of Prince Charming. Last night, I was watching the TV show Once Upon a Time. The show's episode was revolved around Never Land. My favorite! When I was a child, I was enthralled with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. I thought it wonderful that children lived in a place all by themselves, with no rules, no adults with a magical fairy. It got me thinking about fairy tales. I'm not sure if I would consider Peter Pan a fairy tale, but it is a priceless classic. But what of fairy tales? My favorite princess—Cinderella. The premise of Cinderella is ageless. Lovely lady...mistreated by an evil stepmother...the epitome of nice to humans and animals alike...everyone loved her. Growing up, every little girl wants...
