Romance stories | What is a romance story?What is a romance story? In a word? The Manley story is. Manley story, as told in the book -how to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley, is an unconventional romance, Jamaican Yardie style. So, what is a romance story? Type these words, what is a romance story into a search engine and one will be likely to come away with terms and phrases such as: happy wife= happy life, keep your wife happy, warm loving feeling, etc. I once came across a comment on a Facebook group page, which was discussing a newly published romance novel. And the comments said, “but this is not romance. That wasn’t what got the alarm bells going for me though, it was what then followed. –romance should be like: girl meet boy and… the how-to instructions continued. Well, it wasn’t those actual words which were used but you get the point. So, I thought to myself, if that is what it’s like to write a romance novel, or any kind of novel for that matter. Why not just make a mold or a grid or something like that, and issue it to the would-be writer, who would then needs only to go out and insert some choiced words into the slots and voila! You have your novel? Romance or otherwise. In the meantime though, follow along with those results after inserting those search words or term, -what is a romance story, or just, how to write a book? With those search terms, one is likely to come across many industry insiders who will say emphatically that, originality is the key. I had one such guru, told me, (in his writings of course,) his advice is to learn all of the rules in writing a bestselling novel, and then go out and break them all. Why do I like this guy so much? So, which is it? The how-to method which will say: that’s not the way how it is done –this is. Or the ways of originality? I will take originality on any given day. That said here’s my new and very “Original” book called, How to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley. This book is a new kind of romance story. A “romance novel” from the point-of-view of a man –a puppy-dogish type of man, you know the type, don’t you? Get the Manley story today, a hot, unconventional romance novel, Jamaican Yardie style
