Canadian romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood's new novel has been compared to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. The novel presents an intense story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has released a new video in anticipation of the release of  'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. The new romantic fiction book has been compared to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come', as the love story spans lifetimes.

"The new novel," stated Ms. Blackwood, " is a dream come true. I have been fortunate to have been given another opportunity to accomplish what I had originally set out to do, namely write this heartfelt story in one novel, as opposed to two. I feel readers will experience an entirely new awakening to what love truly means, a roller-coaster ride through immense emotions, certain to leave them reeling, and possibly viewing the loves in their life in an entirely new light."

Rusty further states, "Book trailers have become as important to the introduction and awareness of a new title fully as much as a theatrical trailer brings to an upcoming film, and I am immensely proud of the stunning trailer that introduces my new title. It captures the very essence of the story, and provides a sensual, exciting insight to what awaits the reader within the pages of the novel."

In the new novel the city of  Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy alike. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

Reviewers have praised the new work. Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . . " Another Reader's Favorite reviewer stated, "Enjoyable and exciting, this is a book for people who have romance flowing in their veins."

'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary' is slated for release in Spring, 2013. The new video can be viewed now at Blackwood's website.

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood To Release New Version Of 'Passion In Paris' Novel

Canadian romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood's novel has been compared to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. The novel presents the story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood will release a new version of her 'Passion In Paris' novel. The book was originally published in two parts - 'Passion In Paris: Connections To The Past' and 'Passion In Paris: Directions Of The Heart'. The new title, 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary', is an updated version of the storyline in a single volume. The book has been compared to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come', as the love story spans several lifetimes.

"As a writer, and as a woman," reveals Ms. Blackwood when asked why she wrote a story about love spanning several lifetimes, "the expression of love, whether it is expressed in the moment, or recalled from memories dwelling deep within the heart, is the purest form of expression I can write. I've always been a hopeless romantic who believes in love ever-lasting, and that each of us have a soul mate, the reflection of us, the one who holds the other half of our heart, the one we are destined to love for eternity." Rusty continues,"I also believe -- from experience -- that our prior lives can wash into the present, shaping our future, and defining our destiny. With this realization comes much information, among that, who you are meant to be with."

When asked why she is releasing a totally new version of a previously released title, Rusty answers, "I suppose one could call me a perfectionist, and whether that's true or not I do expect the best out of everything I do; my writing, and the publishing of it is no different.  Readers who pick up an author's title expect quality within the pages, and a writer who submits their work to a publisher's copy-editor expects that this particular professional will do this job in a proficient manner; with regard to this, the later was not realized. That is the main reason I decided to totally revise it, and because I had decided to do that, it also gave me the chance to express certain areas from a completely different light, perceptive, as well as expression. Each published title carries the author's name, and the work within the book reflects the ability of the one who wrote it. Therefore it must be as good as it can possibly be."

Blackwood is a prolific Indie author of romantic fiction, short story comedies, contemporary and traditional poetry and children's books. Her first love is romantic fiction, but she crosses genres with ease. Her first venture into the competitive world of mainstream fiction was realized in early October 2010 with the release of her debut romance novel, ‘Passion in Paris: Connections to the Past’, the first of two in the ongoing romance/drama. The second part, a romance novel entitled, ‘Passion in Paris: Directions of the Heart’ was released in May 2011. In March of 2012 she released a short story comedy, ‘The Misadventures Of Derwood Tugbottom’. She has also written an eclectic array of Contemporary and Traditional poetry, publishing her first collection in October of 2009 entitled, ‘Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought’. This title was re-released with additional content in 2011 under the title, ‘Impressions: Poetic Rhythm in Emotion’. ‘Feelings’ was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children as well the young at heart entitled ’Young Minds’ which was later re-released with new added content entitled, ‘Through the Eyes of Innocence’.

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Offers Encouragement And Hope For Indie Authors In New And Past Interviews

Canadian romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood has been interviewed by Abigail Green of Niagara College, Don McCauley of FPFG,  U.K's Waterstone Publishing's Kirsty Scard for The Book Mogul and a number of other high profile Indie author interviewers. In these interviews she discusses the subjects of writing, romantic fiction, the difference between romantic fiction and erotica, book marketing and the current state of book publishing

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood is a prolific author of romantic fiction, short story comedies, contemporary and traditional poetry and children's books. Her first love is romantic fiction. She recently compiled a number of some of her favorite interviews and has made them available at her website. In these interviews she discusses the subjects of writing, romantic fiction, the difference between romantic fiction and erotica, book marketing, the current state of book publishing and why Indie authors are setting a new standard for authors of every genre.

When asked about answering questions from the media, Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood states, "I'm always happy to do an interview, because I feel it helps to allow valuable insight into my work, as well as the reasons why I write. It also allows me the chance to speak about the interesting avenues of the literary world, and what encourages that next piece of literature to be created, or existing work to be built upon."

Rusty Blackwood crosses genres with ease. Her first venture into the competitive world of main-stream fiction was realized in early October 2010 with the release of her debut romance novel, "Passion in Paris: Connections to the Past", the first of two in the ongoing romance/drama. The second part, a romance novel entitled, "Passion in Paris: Directions of the Heart" was released in May 2011. In March of 2012 she released a short story comedy, "The Misadventures Of Derwood Tugbottom". She has also written an eclectic array of Contemporary and Traditional poetry, publishing her first collection in October of 2009 entitled, "Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought".

"Feelings" was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children as well the young at heart, entitled,"Young Minds"  which was later re-released with new added content entitled, "Through the Eyes of Innocence".

Rusty further states, "I think a good, in-depth interview gives the reader a chance to actually know the person who has written a title that they have enjoyed in ways that they otherwise might not. Also, well thought-out questions by a perceptive interviewer can enable the reader to learn about the author's life outside the realm of writing, which is important, because it brings life to an author's name, instead of merely a name beneath a book's title."

Romantic Fiction Versus Erotica - Author Rusty Blackwood Believes The Lines Have Become Blurred

With the recent success of what many may term erotica, many romantic fiction novelists are pondering where to draw the line that separates erotica from traditional romantic fiction. Romantic fiction novelist Rusty Blackwood believes the current trend towards erotica, while attractive for marketing value, is likely short lived and can harm the genre, rather than help it

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood is a romantic fiction novelist. She believes the recent trend of romance authors and writers leaning towards writing erotica for sheer marketing value can effectively eliminate the most important component of the romance novel - the romance.

"What would you honestly crave if given the choice," questions Ms. Blackwood, "romance or erotica? For me the answer is easy. Give me good old fashioned romance any old day. Yes, the physical aspect of love is important, but where does one draw the line, and what would you give to have someone honestly care for you - love you beyond all reason - for as long as you draw breath?  Would you simply settle for the physical with no substance, no future or desire to have anything beyond that? A well written romance must contain these types of scenes including coarse language as well as graphic imagery to be both believable and entertaining, but first and foremost it must tell a substantial story that people can actually relate to, told in a way that evokes emotion, mental participation, and entertainment for the reader."

Rusty Blackwood crosses genres with ease. Her first venture into the competitive world of main-stream fiction was realized in early October 2010 with the release of her debut romance novel, "Passion in Paris: Connections to the Past", the first of two in the ongoing romance/drama. The second part, a romance novel entitled, "Passion in Paris: Directions of the Heart" was released in May 2011. In March of 2012 she released a short story comedy, "The Misadventures Of Derwood Tugbottom". She has also written an eclectic array of Contemporary and Traditional poetry, publishing her first collection in October of 2009 entitled, "Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought". This title was re-released with additional content in 2011 under the title, "Impressions: Poetic Rhythm in Emotion". "Feelings" was followed in April of 2010 by a collection of assorted short stories for children as well the young at heart, entitled,"Young Minds"  which was later re-released with new added content entitled, "Through the Eyes of Innocence".

"When I read a story," Blackwood continued, "I want to become the heroine - feel her emotions, walk in her shoes and experience her plight; if I have done this by the end of the story then I have been thoroughly entertained, and the author has succeeded in their effort to provide me with the experience I am looking for. I am in no way suggesting that erotica does not elicit entertainment — after all this is the main reason it is written as well as the reason it is read — but do not make the unfortunate mistake in believing that erotica is romance for it is not, the two genres are completely different. Any reader thinking the two are in any way the same has been sadly ill-advised, and is in for a tremendous eye-opening experience. While I appreciate what is happening, it might be important for romantic fiction authors to get back to the basic reason why two people find love in the first place - especially love that can endure all adversity and time without using cover to cover erotica to sell it."
