Most tales of romance, much like the fairy tales of old, end
on a proverbial high note—with a, 'and they lived happily ever after' kind of
feel. But what really happens after 'The End'? It's a question that romance
author C. Elizabeth thinks goes unanswered far too often. And it's one she
seeks to answer with her latest release, Absolute
Obstruction.
Elizabeth's latest offering is a follow-up to her debut
novel, Absolute Obsession, a story
that chronicled the journey of Rose Garabaldi, whose relationship with a
British film star also explored the question of what happens when fantasies are
manifest into reality. The romance novelist has made a concerted effort with
her Absolute series to avoid the
pitfalls of the genre where characters are used as props, rather than as an
opportunity to develop a relationship with readers.
"I'm not sure why so many romance authors close the
door on their characters after just one book. If you have well-developed
characters that your readers have really grown to care about, then why just
arbitrarily end their story, wrapping it up in a nice little bow," muses
Elizabeth. "It's not what happens in real life, and a really good romance
novel isn't just about escapism—it's about having readers connect to the parts
of themselves they see expressed on the page."
C. Elizabeth's most recent foray is being published by Wings
ePress and is available for purchase from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For
