The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, 'It's not literature unless is ends badly,' and I really don't like that. There's enough misery and bad things happening in the world. Ruth Glick badbadlyend share on social
In ages past, there was less of a dichotomy between good literature and fun reads. In the twentieth century, I think, it split apart, so that you had serious fiction and genre fiction. Ruth Glick agecenturydichotomy Change image and share on social

Is it better to go indie and make bigger profits on each book, or stick with a print publisher's 6%-10% royalties? Since I never could figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up, I'm hedging my bets and working both sides of the street. Ruth Glick betbigbook share on social
Of course, to publish something, you have to write it, polish it, then hire out the line editing, copy editing and cover design.

People are in a hurry. They don't want to look at a long list of ingredients. Cooking is terribly hard work. Ruth Glick cookhardhurry Change image and share on social
People seldom think of soup for summer, so they are unusual - an interesting, unusual touch for the first course or for dessert. I find cold soups very refreshing. I serve them in cups rather than in bowls, usually, and let people sip them. You don't really need a spoon for soups that are all one consistency. Ruth Glick bowlcoldconsistency share on social
