This is a huge step for me, and a step back for Bethany House!
I have realized why most Inspirational, Christian, Historical, fiction is so cheesy! Today I was going through some old stuff when I found a Disney book based off of a bunch of their movies. Like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and other such stories. So, I pick it up and flip through it, and when I read it, I thought to myself... " That sounds a whole lot like a Janet Oke book, only without the characters praising God before they make out and less descriptive...." Thats when it hit me! Thats why I either feel disgusted or bored during most of those type books, to be 'clean', they take a child's story and use big words! With a tad more passion, but just a tad. And they replace a fairy godmother with God! And of corse, the handsome prince is really a soldier from war, or a pioneer, but same concept. I have discovered the way cheesy christian romance is created. This is huge! I can now make millions off of people who are 30 who want to watch Disney, but feel stupid, so they go to the library and pick up an Inspirational, Christian, Historical, fictional novel, so they can feel better about themselves. Although, I must say I'm rather lost as to why they add 'Inspirational' to it. The only time I'm inspired by one of those books is when I think ''Hmm... this would be a great parody..." Anyone agree???
