  • Women's Lives and Relationships
    From The Readers’ Advisory Guide to Genre Fiction by Joyce G. Saricks. Copyright © 2001 Joyce G. Saricks. All rights reserved. Permission granted to reproduce for nonprofit, educa- tional purposes. Check out the book at the ALA Online Store (www.alastore.ala.org). 16 Women’s Lives and Relationships One of the most popular annotated booklists at my library is one devoted to books about women and their lives, written by women au- thors. If the popularity of our booklists is any indication of what women read, we know that many women, in my library at least, are requesting books that generally deal with Women’s Lives and Rela- tionships. These are books that do not fall easily into a genre, books that explore concerns faced by women of their age group or by women in general. Sometimes readers seek a lighthearted book in this vein; at other times they look for a title that deals more seriously with an issue; at times a “soap opera” approach satisfies their need to escape the reality of their lives; and at other times they seek something more provocative. Fortunately for librarians and readers alike, this is a mar- ket publishers have recognized and worked to meet, providing books that reflect Women’s Lives and Relationships for readers who want books that deal with the concerns and joys found in women’s lives. A Definition Although some call this genre Women’s Fiction, I do not intend to use that term here. I find it too limiting, as it could suggest to the uninitiated that this is all women read.

  • Taltp-Spring-2008-American-Romance
    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Special Issue Spring/Summer 2008 Volume 2 Issue 2/3 Suzanne Brockmann (Anne Brock) (5 June 1960- Suzanne Brockmann, New York Times best-selling and RITA-award-winning author, pioneered and popularized military romances. Her well-researched, tightly-plotted, highly emotional, action-packed novels with their socially- and politically-pertinent messages have firmly entrenched the romance genre in the previously male-dominated world of the military thriller and expanded the reach and relevance of the romance genre far beyond its stereotypical boundaries. The Navy SEAL heroes of her Tall, Dark and Dangerous series published under the Silhouette Intimate Moments imprint and the heroes and even occasionally the heroines of her best-selling, mainstream Troubleshooter series who work for various military and counter-terrorism agencies have set the standards for military characters in the romance genre. In these two series, Brockmann combines romance, action, adventure, and mystery with frank, realistic examinations of contemporary issues such as terrorism, sexism, racial profiling, interracial relationships, divorce, rape, and homosexuality. Brockmann’s strong, emotional, and realistic heroes, her prolonged story arcs in which the heroes and heroines of future books are not only introduced but start their relationships with each other books before their own, and her innovative interactions with her readers, have made her a reader favorite. Suzanne was born in Englewood, New Jersey on 6 May, 1960 to Frederick J. Brockmann, a teacher and public education administrator, and Elise-Marie “Lee” Schriever Brockmann, an English teacher. Suzanne and her family, including one older sister, Carolee, born 28 January, 1958, lived in Pearl River, N.Y., Guilford, Conn., and Farmingdale, N.Y., following Fred Brockmann’s career as a Superintendent of Schools.
