Just Sayin’

I am opinionated and knowledgeable on a variety of topics: the romance genre today, the romance of days of yore, the stigma against this popular genre,  how to get published, writing advice, real life tips from romance novels, and living a life of pleasure. I’ve got a Masters degree in English Lit and I’m not afraid to use it. I’d be happy to talk to your group, guest blog on your site, or be on your TV or radio show, or star in your movie. You can email me at mail@mayarodale.com.
