Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander
by Ann Herendeen
Yeah, so I’m not really all about the bisexual historical romance (“a man in love with his wife and his boyfriend”), but what I am about is when self-publishing serves its purpose, which is to say, it gained an audience and a traditional NY publisher’s attention.

[...]

So I went a-seekin’ keywords for my website header information and, naturally, plugged “Mormon romance” into Google and what did I get? This:
Mormon romance novels seduce book buyers
Germane point:

• BOOK REVIEW POLICY

  In general, my book review policy is that I only want to spend time talking about books I like.
  
  Every once in a while, I'll talk about books that hit me a certain way and stuck with me (even if it's bad).
  
  And every once in a while, I'll review a book someone's asked me to review (but I make no promises).
