Romance Wiki A lovely tribute to the late Kate Duffy. Her passing shocked us -- if anyone deserved a happy ending, it was Kate.

When I first met Kate Duffy, it was at RWA in Dallas in 2007, and I was 8.5 months pregnant. I waddled everywhere, and I was, literally, a torpedo. I gave birth 6 weeks later. Like any good pregnant lady at an RWA convention, I was in the bar when I was introduced to Kate Duffy.

Faye O'Leary Hi everyone!

My name is Faye O'Leary and I'm an M.Phil student in Popular Literature in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. I'm writing a dissertation on the romantic suspense genre, particularly about the RITA award winners in that category for the last ten years (see link below).

I'm curious about what people think makes a book a romantic suspense novel. Any help is much appreciated!

The Suspense Category was introduced in 1989. The Suspense Category was renamed Romantic Suspense in 1990. As with all the other RITA® categories, in 2004, "Best" was added to the category name.

To rush to conclusions about romance fiction is to flatten out a rich, varied, and continually evolving genre.

One thing funny about this is that often great independent book stores like Powell's don't even had a romance section. I am thinking Elliot Bay in Seattle, Cody's in Berkeley. Not sure about Powell's, it has been a while since the last time I was there! What is that about? I always thought it was being snobbish. They have a mystery section, but not romance.
