Welcome and RNA Member's Books Coming Out in July

This is the first post to the blog for the Romantic Novelists' Association. There is no better way to begin than with a list of the books coming out in July. The Short Stories List will be posted tomorrow and on Friday Veronica Henry talks about her current fitness regime in which she attempts to combat writer's bottom and get match fit in time for publication of next novel.

This month's offerings begin to show the diversity of romantic fiction and, of course, of the RNA's authors.

Which ones will you be reading this month?
