Your Very Own Romance Novel

By Alex in Book & Lit on Oct 3, 2008 at 12:53 pm


Have you always wanted to star in your own bodice-ripper romance novel?

Now you can: simply enter some details like heroine and hero’s names and characteristics (like eye color, hair color, etc) at Romance By You, pay your 40 bucks and voilà – your very own romance novel!

For example, here’s Pirates of Desire:

Our heroine is a stunning aristocrat who yearns to be a swashbuckling pirate buccaneer. Until, that is, she and her best friend find themselves captured by our hero, a scoundrel and handsome pirate rogue, with a price on his head.

Our leading lady becomes his willing prisoner of passion… or is it the lure of the sea that holds her heart captive?

My wife actually found this website while looking for children’s book that can be personalized – Link, Thanks sweetpea!

    This is kinda similar to my new website, where a community write a romance novel. But we make fun of them, so I'm happy either way.

    This would make a great gag gift.

    Hysterical! I just ordered one for my best friend for Christmas. I piqued her curiosity when I e-mailed her asking what color were her husband's eyes and how to spell her cat's name. We're not into romance novels, but we love books and I thought this would be a great personalized keepsake.

    I also visited the children's book section and bought one for my nephew. I'm hoping if the book is about him, it will increase his interest in reading. Thanks for posting this!

    So now we're redundant. Authors no longer required. I hate you!

    I have enough trouble promoting my work without this. Jeez. I think I'll just give up.

    Seriously though, a good idea. A friend of mine was thinking of doing something similar for kids on holiday Benidorm.

    This is funny, although i was hoping they'd have the option for a same-gender for the romance roles. lol

    I recently got one of these for my boyfriend for our anniversary. We met on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so it seemed especially appropriate. We read bits of it out loud to each other and howled with laughter. They have a few other types of books, too.
