5.0 out of 5 stars Buy It!, 21 Jun 2004
As an aspiring romance writer, Kate Walker sent me this book. It's a very useful tool for unpacking mistakes in your own writing - given by a woman who's phenomenally successful in her chosen genre. I am now a multi 'accepted' author, Natasha Oakley, with Mills and Boon myself. What more can I say?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Master class in romance writing, 28 May 2004
By A Customer
Kate Walker has done it again! She has produced a guide to romance writing that has surpassed her previous excellent effort. The book is an outgrowth of her expertise at leading workshops and guiding aspiriing Romance writers of all ages towards the goal of publication. As well, Kate draws on her expeince of writing over 43 books for Mills and Boon. Anyone who seeks to achieve that goal or who simply wants to improve their craft of romance writing would do well to buy this book.
Not only does Kate explain each of her 12 topics from emotion to the believeable happy ever after ending with a great deal of depth and clarity, she also provides lists of discussion questions to get you thinking about your novel and exercises to help improve your writing.
She explains the hows and whys of conflict, the importance of sensuality and passion as well the need to keep asking why. She even has a section that deals with coping with editor or agent generated revisions. If you are serious about romance writing, this book should be on your shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to Writing Romance, 4 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Kate Walker's guide is concise, detailed and practical. Each chapter has exercises to help the would-be author develop their own Romance story.
If you want to write category Romance, then this book is an excellent tool to be used before you write and during the actual writing process.
