Pulpy, old-school, retro, and vintage romance reads are my jam, baby! I love them all: the good, the bad, the cheesy, and the sleazy! I have no shame about my love for high and low-brow art— mostly low-brow. Other than dreams, the wild stories from our imaginations are the only places where anything can truly happen, and you know what? That’s totally fine.
Trigger warnings are for weapons, not books.
As a lifelong autodidact, an amateur cultural historian, and a reader of romance, horror, and schlocky tales since 1989, I adore all kinds of fictional genres from the 20th century. In the 21st security, not so much!
