			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>I know, it&#8217;s sick, right?  I also like my Bolognese sauce served over ice cold lettuce instead of pasta.  I enjoy the contrast between hot and bubbly and cold and crunchy.  Plus I don&#8217;t like commercial pasta.  To me it tastes about the same as cardboard.  Now when hubby gets out his hand-crank pasta maker and makes his own pasta, I love it.  Between the two of us, we make a mean wild mushroom lasagna.  So now I&#8217;ll segue&#8230;</p>
<p>Jaye Manus, over at <a href="https://mustlovefiction.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/romance-novels-are-a-bad-influence/">Must Love Fiction</a>, is talking about romance.  Well, she and I have been talking about romance.  Go read.  She liked my paranormal, <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Incorporeal-ebook/dp/B005CWJK8E/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1327029272&amp;sr=8-26">Incorporeal</a></strong>, which is very cool.  She brings up a good point &#8211; us Indies can take chances.  I&#8217;ll go further and say we&#8217;re wasting our time if we don&#8217;t.  Well, I suppose if you wanna make the big bucks you can re-write Twilight, but if you&#8217;re a good writer, if writing is your passion, you are missing a opportunity to push the envelope.</p>
<p>Some Indie writers are definitely taking risks.  Stant Litore with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Bible-Windows-Kindle-ebook/dp/B005SNK13K/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1327023208&amp;sr=1-1">The Zombie Bible</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/In-Pieces-ebook/dp/B005O0V762/ref=sr_1_11?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1327022835&amp;sr=1-11">In Pieces</a>, by Geoffrey Mann &#8211; to name two whose works I&#8217;ve read recently.  Not your cookie cutter stories by any means.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go for it.  Like Jaye says, readers may think they want hamburger, but serve filet mignon and see what happens. (Or maybe Bolognese over lettuce?)</p>

<p>Hey, I&#8217;ve been giving away my books on Goodreads so you might want to check it out.  Just finished a giveaway for <strong>Pushing Her Boundaries</strong> and once it&#8217;s approved, <strong>Beauty and the Feast</strong> will be listed.  Then I think maybe <strong>Anytime Darlin&#8217;</strong> and <strong>Come Back To Me</strong>.  Maybe even my four book science fiction series, <strong>Daughters of Persephone</strong>.</p>
<p>If I could figure out how to give away ebooks, I&#8217;d list my ebooks too.  Anybody know how to do that?  If you do, let me know.</p>
