For the loveThe idea of churning out a couple of pulp romance novels that might potentially sell millions of copies to the seemingly neverending throngs of women who devour these things at the rate of about two-a-day (well, that was my experience when issuing the things at the public library I used to work at), has always had a vague appeal.

Problem is, of course, is that millions of other people, many of them serious romance readers in the first place, have had the same idea, and the market is flooded with the things. I assume a few of them are big sellers, but that, in reality, only a few people (as with any creative enterprise), make any real dosh out of the exercise.

Anyway, what might be more interesting would be writing the romance novels that could accompany the cover mock-ups that Longmire has created over on his website (worth the price of admission - which, admittedly, is free - just for his pic at the top of the page).

He's come up with such doozies as: Gimme Back My Shirt! Lord of the Hissy Fit, and, errr, The Toy in Daddy's Pants (okay, maybe I won't write that last one). Comedy Romance Fiction?

Or has that been done already?
