With over fifty titles in her portfolio of romance books, New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig believes it is the uniqueness in her stories and author voice that draw readers to her books. There are cookie cutter structures that many authors are told to follow and while these might work for some, she tends to not follow a formula. Romig is a pantser, not a plotter, and lets her well-developed characters tell the stories. She weaves in lots of twists and turns and finds herself being surprised sometimes. Hitting a bestseller list like the New York Times has certainly helped her career and her notoriety in the genre. The romance genre is not always taken as seriously as some other fiction genres and being a bestseller can definitely give your author platform a boost.
