How to Be Happy in Love: Best-Selling Romance Writers Weigh in on Real-Life Relationships in Cleis Press Editor's Piece
(PRWEB) July 21, 2014 -- Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of Cleis Press erotica like The Big Book of Submission, penned a Cosmopolitan article asking "five best-selling romance novelists what they've learned about love, on and off the page." The happily coupled authors share everything from "how to spot a keeper to how to keep a relationship spicy."
For most of these authors, it all comes down to good communication. Maya Banks, author of Giving In, said "Talking is a very good way to get in the mood because when you're speaking with your partner, that builds intimacy." Similarly, Jaci Burton, author of Hope Ignites, feels that "communication is key with any relationship."
