Eels with Strings: Live at Town Hall

Hold me like a mother would

Like I've always known somebody should,

yeah

Although tomorrow don't look that good

Well it just goes to show

Though people say we're an unlikely couple

I'm seeing double of you

Oh

This is life

And everything's all right

Living living living living living living living

Oh, hope for the hopeless

I'm learning to cope, with the emotionless mediocrity of day-to-day living

How can I help but be restless

When everything seems so tasteless

And all of the colours seem to have faded away.

Oh

LIFE AND EXPERIENCES

LIFE and the experiences can be taken as the related terms.our life is mere collection of the a lot of the happenings and the day to day experiments.It is the fact that life is the gatherings of the all ups and downs but also a lot is created in all the admist which we are unknown and we may not know if we give no attention or care to our life.Everyone has life experiences which are unique, and would be useful to be share with other people in order to make their lives easier. And the intresting facet about the experiences is that it not only teaches us to live the life as well it makes us the teacher as our life can be the example in many ways.So in each and every fall and rise of the life we need to learn to be the perfect though we can never be.Because learning is the only thing that we can do in our life either it is from people or scenario or the enviroment but the most important part is learning and it makes us to lead to the way to happiness.

LIFE AND ITS "THE FOUR ASPECTS"

There are alot of ups and down in our life which can brings a lot of disturbances in the life as well as this disbalaces our day to day life.We may think that because there are a lot of things going on in your life now, plus all the buzz that’s revolving around the globe, we see life way too complicated than it really is. Such complication is shown by all the busyness and stress that we deal on everyday of our life.
Despite all the list of things you can reason out to prove that life is way too complicated, the reality is that our life only circulate in the following four aspects:
1) Physical
This involves exercising, playing sports, eating right, relaxing or even making sure you get enough sleep. It is about our self, our health which we normally neglected while making what we call a “living”.
2) Mental
This involves activities such as reading, learning new skills, writing and gaining knowledge by taking classes.
It’s also about removing our worries, fears, anxieties for the future and for the unknown and redirecting our mind to living the life of today. Helping you shed dis-empowering thoughts and relationships and creating a positive mental attitude towards life’s challenges.
3) Emotional
The heart is fed by things such as building relationships, laughing, helping others and working with others. The state of the heart can often be measured by your balance in your personal bank account and relationship bank accounts. Living life is not about the value we put in our bank accounts but the value we give to ourselves and to other people.
4) Spiritual
This dimension contains things like praying, meditating, keeping a journal, or exposing yourself to only quality TV, music and movies. It’s about our faith not only of God and his supreme powers, but also our own will and power to do things as we want it.
Knowing that life is all about this four aspect can help you organize the clutter of your life. And once you learn how to balance everything in this four aspect is the ultimate way to living life to the fullest.

Learning and Sharing

TIPS IN HAVING PEACE OF MIND

To get peace of mind has ben the most important subject in our daily life.We cannot live our life without being happy.And to be happy we must live in peace.

Peace of mind is a state of inner calmness and tranquility, together with a sense of freedom, when thoughts and worries cease, and there is no stress, strain or fear. Such moments are not so rare. They may be experienced while being engaged in some kind of an absorbing or interesting activity, such as while watching an interesting movie or TV program, while being with someone you love, while reading a book or while lying on the sand at the beach.Whenever we are free i.e when we get a day leisure out of the busy schedule tehn we get rest or peace for that day.Such and similar activities take away the mind from its usual thoughts and worries, and bring some temporary inner peace.

In order to bring more peace of mind into our life, enjoy under all circumstances,learn to bring more moments of inner peace into your daily life. Later, you will be able to experience these moments in times of trouble or difficulties too, when you most need inner calmness and tranquility.

simple things that can help to maintain peace of mind:

Stay away from negative conversations and from negative people.

Learn to forget and forgive.

Don't be jealous of others.

Accept what cannot be changed. This saves a lot of time, energy and worries.

Learn to be more patient and tolerant with people and events.

Don't take everything too personally.

Let bygones be gone. Forget the past and concentrate on the present moment.

Learn to practice meditation.

HAPPENINGS AND SUFFERINGS

We all have the desire to be happy and to live peacefully in the earth.In the present context what we think real happiness is just our fulfillment of desires but the happiness is hided behind the giving not in taking.

Happiness and suffering are opposites, so if something is a real cause of happiness it cannot give rise to suffering. If food, money, and so forth really are causes of happiness, they can never be causes of suffering; yet we know from our own experience that they often do cause suffering. For example, one of our main interests is food, but the food we eat is also the principal cause of most of our ill health and sickness. In the process of producing the things we feel will make us happy we have polluted our environment to such an extent that the very air we breathe and the water we drink now threaten our health and well-being. We love the freedom and independence a car can give us, but the cost in accidents and environmental destruction is enormous. We feel that money is essential for us to enjoy life, but the pursuit of money also causes immense problems and anxiety. Even our family and friends, with whom we enjoy so many happy moments, can also bring us a lot of worry and heartache.

Happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes cannot be found outside the mind. The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we shall never be happy, no matter how good our external con- ditions may be. External conditions can only make us happy if our mind is peaceful.

PHYLOSOPHICAL LIFE

The importance of living the phylosophical life is to make the enviroment peace and entertaining.We need to understand that each and every person living in this planet simply leaves his footprints on our ecological system with each of the steps that they take during their living in this planet. It is the scale and measure of these foot prints that simply decides the amount of damage we did to our planet at the time of our existence. So the more damage we create being an individual, the more footprints we leave behind us. So when most of these footprints start piling up we simply pass away without facing the consequences and the future generations on this planet are the ones who have to face it. So, we simply can say that we are very selfish when we study this.
We are one of the prime reasons for threatening our environment and causing a change in its climate. We have forced our bio diversity to change for us. So, the green living movement is a result of all these changes. The basic idea is simply to try and conserve with what we are left and promote sustainability. Once we have understood these problems we can start to educate ourselves to repair these damages in a much productive fashion.
So we basically need to choose an organic way of living by eating organic food, and using organic products. We need to cut down the harmful chemicals. We need to recycle more of our house hold rubbish instead of throwing it away. In this way we can certainly reduce landfills and reduce the amount of carbon we give to the planet.

LIVING PHYLOSOPHICAL LIFE

Healthy living is generally considered as one of the most philosophical ways to live our life. Most of us who simply tend to adapt this way of living consider our actions in the well being of our planet. Every time we adapt ourselves to this decision, we tend to think of our consequences towards the planet and mankind and its effect. Green living simply means a way of caring for our environment along with is substances like plants, animals and humans. By being conscious towards our ecosystem, we generally can take wise decisions in maintaining our planet and making sure that our kind will continue to live here for ages to come.
The main key to green living is reducing the deposit of carbon on our planet. We need to remember that if any of our actions are simply creating any negative impacts then we have to manage and change our actions. Green living is simply one of the best ways to do things. If we take care of our planet we can at least be sure that our earth will preserve most of the life forms for the future generations.

SEVEN SECRETS FOR HAPPYLIFE

1. Respect Yourself:

If I don't love and respect myself, who will? It all starts right here with ME. If I think that I'm a pretty good person, it doesn't much matter what anyone else thinks. And the irony is that once I like myself, most everyone else will like me too. People enjoy being around people who speak well of themselves - not in an arrogant boastful way, but with honest self-appreciation.
2. Forgive Everyone for Everything:

Angry and happy don't mix. Flush out the angry, and the happy has a place to put down roots. Until we forgive everyone for everything, we hold on to anger and resentment. Once we forgive, we can become happy. Forgiving is not a gift to someone else - Forgiving is our gift to ourselves - a great gift - the gift of happiness.
3. Be Grateful for All of Life:

Each of us has been infinitely blessed - beginning with the gift of life. Whatever may appear to be missing or broken on any particular day, our glass is not half full, it is 99.9% full. More practically, when we feel ungrateful, we become unhappy. When we choose to feel and express our gratitude, the act of feeling and speaking our thanks creates a happiness within us. The more we express our gratitude, the more we have for which to be grateful. Today and every day, take time to celebrate life - whether an hour's meditation in a quiet natural space, or a brief moment's conscious pause to breathe deeply and celebrate gratitude for life.
4. Choose Happiness:

Everything in life is a choice. There is never anything we ever "need" to do. Every action and thought is a choice and has consequences - pleasant or unpleasant. Whether you go to work today, change jobs, smile at the bank teller, yell at your kids, complain about life, hold a daily celebration of gratitude for life - they are all choices. Happiness is a choice. Stay alert and make conscious choices for happiness.
5. Begin at the End:

You can never reach your destination if you don't have a destination. Decide what accomplishments you want recorded on your tombstone. Take a whole quiet day to consider your life. Be very clear that your happiness does NOT depend on reaching your goal. In fact, it's the reverse. Your happiness depends on accepting whatever life throws at you while you walk the path toward your goal. What is important for your happiness is having a goal, and working toward it.
6. Start Today:

Whatever you want in life, start today. Not tomorrow - today. Let it be a small beginning - a tiny beginning. Your happiness depends on starting today - every day.
7. Accept that Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair":

Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be. Demanding that life meet our expectations is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence. Life is a game with no rules. Life just happens to us regardless of our best intentions. Our only path to happiness lies in being open to receiving whatever life throws at us - with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

NINE PATH TO HAPPINESS

Sometimes it appears that life throws more obstacles in our path than we can handle. However, even in the face of the most challenging circumstances, you can make the choice to be happy by following these 9 paths to happiness.
1.Honor Yourself:

Remember what the flight attendant says, "Put your own oxygen mask on first." You are of no use to anyone else if you have not taken care of your own needs first - this includes your own emotional, as well as physical, well-being.
2. Forgive Everyone For Everything:

Forgiveness is a gift to yourself. YOU created the stress in your life by getting angry, and YOU can instantly remove that stress by granting forgiveness. Expressing your forgiveness to the other is optional - internalizing that forgiveness is required in order to live a joyful life. Don't forget to also forgive yourself for everything you regret ever having done or not done.
3. Have Gratitude For All Of Life:

As with forgiveness, gratitude is a gift to yourself. Saying "thank you" is a powerful way to create great relationships, but the real power of gratitude is internalizing an immense thankfulness for your very existence - everything that has ever occurred or failed to occur in your life.
4. Respect Your Mind:

Faith is powerful, but it is no substitute for observing, paying attention, weighing alternatives, and choosing with intention. Without conscious choice, there is no freedom or happiness.
5. Design Your Future:

Don't be a passive tumbleweed blown by the winds of life. Envision the future you want, and then take action to create that future. Often, you will fail. Plan again and take action again.
6. Begin Today, and Never Give Up:

There is no better time to begin than today - each and every "today." When obstacles stop you, think of new ways to reach your goals. In the words of the Oriental proverb, "Fall seven times, stand up eight."
7. Be Of Service To Others By Radiating Happiness:

Being of service is one of the greatest paths to happiness, but remember that your greatest service to others is the person that you are, rather than the tasks you accomplish. Your greatest gift to others is to give them happiness, and by far the most powerful way to do that is to be an example of happiness and to radiate that happiness to others.
8. Dance Lightly With Life:

Life does not have to be a serious undertaking. You will make mistakes, you will feel regrets, and eventually, you will die - so what? Happiness comes from dancing lightly with life - playing hopscotch on the river of life - leaping gracefully from joy to joy while laughing at the threats of calamity - even laughing hysterically at our human frailness when we do fall into the muddy torrent.
9. Know Unity With Spirit:

There are as many ways to connect with Spirit as there are people - each of us has our own way to receive strength and serenity from the Infinite. Your life will be happier if you acknowledge that you are not alone, become open to that presence, and create ritual to celebrate your connection. You may feel your bond with Spirit at the Lord's Supper, in Songs of Praise, in Calls to Prayer, in Meditation, while doing Yoga or Qigong, or while walking in the woods. However you connect with Spirit, do it today.

EXISTANCE OF LIFE AFTER DEATH?

Life after death can be the intesting as well the surprising matter.Because no one knows the truth of life after death.Whatever happens after death but its our duty to live the present in the truth. To be true and sincere is the way of makin our life happier after death.

When Jesus was talking with Martha about the death of Lazarus, her brother, He declared "I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." Right here, Jesus started presenting the astonishing claim that there is life after death. Jesus then went the next step and brought Lazarus back to life after four days in a tomb. At that point, Jesus put everyone on notice that He would later overcome the grave Himself! “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”

For skeptics, the whole idea of heaven is just the product of fertile imaginations. For many others, the Biblical idea of heaven is too fanciful or fantastic. However, Christians can live their lives with bold hope, thanks to the evidence of history that establishes with convincing clarity how Jesus not only preceded us in death, but also came back from the dead and blazed the trail to heaven.
Life After Death: Proof?

Is there mathematical proof for life after death? No. But if you believe the life-changing evidence for God, Jesus and the Bible, then heaven is as much a concrete reality for you as the Lord in whom you’ve invested your absolute trust. It’s not fantasy – it’s the absolute life-changing hope that strengthens us and gives us peace.

Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world, few hearts survive All I know, is the way I feel When it?s real, I keep my pray alive

Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the world we know Up where the clear winds blow

LOVE IS THE WAY TO LIFE

It seems so odd that you love quicker than you lose love. Love comes and goes, but seems to go more than stay. Love seems to leave little by little, possibly because of reluctance to let an important person go. It sure is sudden how you stop loving things; it always seems to astonish you how it happens. But amazingly this problem has never been solved; as we cannot figure out how to love. Love is something that we have named, and so therefore we can give it the disrespect as we have many words in the English language. It is not someone or something said that destroys a love, it is rather a disrespect for yours and the others heart. That in itself, destroys love.?-Z.R.A.

The energy of life flows in a circle, without the centre, life would never be whole but since the day i met this girl, i found my centre, she was the one, she made my life whole.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead

HOW TO LOVE YOUR LIFE

Be optimistic:

Think of life in the best way possible, look at the glass as half full, and find the better side of every situation. You would be amazed at how much more there is to life than the negative.

Live every moment to the fullest:

Don't waste a single second being sad, bored, or lonely. Get out there and dance, and sing as if no one was around. You never know how much longer you have to do so.
Be selfless:

Give more than you receive, and share with others. Do less for yourself, and more for the people around you. Also when you do the right thing you get a fantastic feeling inside.

Laugh often:

This is possibly the most important point in this how-to guide. Laughter is the number one most important thing in life. Laugh much, and smile often.

Live in the present:

Forget about the past, as there is nothing you can do about it. Don't worry about the future, as what is to come is to come, and if you forget to live in the moment, you would be surprised at how quickly time can slip.

Be yourself:

Live up to your own standards, not anyone else's. Who cares what others think about you? Who cares if you can't sing, can't dance, or if your clothes don't match. Do what you want to do, and be who you want to be.

Be kind to everyone:

Kindness is the key to unlocking your own happiness and joy. If others notice your kindness, they will gratefully return it. Make as many close friends as you can, and help them when they are down, as you never know when you will need them to catch you.
Stand there:

At times just standing somewhere peaceful and quiet and thinking about what you have achieved, are about to achieve, or even want to achieve; It will hit you... a feeling of the utmost respect for life.

Do what you enjoy:

If you have always wanted to learn something, or feel like improving on something you already do, go for it! Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you love, and if you feel comfortable doing it then don't hold back. If you do, you're going to regret it.

Encourage others to love life:

If you have followed the above steps above you are on your way to living a better life, now start to encourage others around you to also love life and spread your message.
Find a Partner:

Find someone to love can be very hard however just be patient and maybe that special person will come along.

Be yourself, be yourself, be yourself. It is extremely important. Don't try to be someone you're not. Love yourself!
Have fun! Don't let anyone put you down on the way you look or act!

HAPPY MARRIAGE LIFE

Every great marriage shares one trait--romance. Romance can make the common, uncommon. Romance can infuse a dreary marriage with excitement and flair. Romance is the spice of life and can keep a marriage vibrant and alive for a lifetime. Fortunately, romance can be learned for those that are not so inclined. Follow these tips to add a bit of romance to your marriage.

Learn that true romance is usually spontaneous. A planned romantic encounter can be great, but a spur of the moment romantic gesture can be out of this world.

Remember every important date by using a day planner. Over a period of years, you will experience many "firsts" of all different kinds. Anniversaries, birthdays and first dates are all important occasions and opportunities for romance. The first time you ever danced together is even more romantic. Dance on that day every year.
Continue to be chivalrous long after the honeymoon. Keeping your marriage romantic is easy when you are keeping your spouse out of the mud puddles. Open doors and like it. That is romantic.
Take the time to notice what most spouses miss. Maybe he wore a different after shave, or she got a new hairstyle. Notice and compliment any efforts to impress each other.

Change up from the every day at least once a month. Watching television every Thursday night can be romantic when done correctly, but renting a snazzy hotel room and watching television once a month can be really romantic as well.
Ask what your spouse finds romantic. You would be amazed at how varied the answer can be. If you do not know, how can you be romantic?
Spice up the bedroom with a little bit of change now and then. Whether it is a new position or a new place, change is good when it comes to sex.

history

HISTORY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROMACE
One of the earliest romance novels was Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, by Samuel Richardson. Published in 1740, Pamela was the first popular novel to be based on a courtship as told from the perspective of the heroine. Unlike many of the novels of the time, Pamela had a happy ending. The book was one of the first bestsellers, with five editions printed in the first eleven months of release. The genre did not fully take form, however, until the nineteenth century
Jane Austen is widely considered to be one of the masters of the romance novel genre, with Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, considered "the best romance novel ever written."Critics, however, lamented that Austen's works reinforced the sexist stereotype that women must marry.The Brontë sisters built upon Austen's work with their novels. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, published in 1847, introduced the orphaned heroine. Incorporating elements of both gothic novels and Elizabethan drama, Jane Eyre "demonstrate the flexibility of the romance novel form.
The genre continued to be popular into the twentieth century. In 1919, E.M. Hull's novel The Sheik was published in the United Kingdom. The novel, which became hugely popular, was adapted into a movie, which established star Rudolf Valentino as the top male actor of the time. The hero of this book was an iconic alpha male who kidnapped the heroine and won her admiration through his forceful actions. The novel was one of the first to introduce the rape fantasy. Although women were gaining more independence in life, publishers believed that readers would only accept premarital sex in the context of rape. In this novel and those that followed, the rape was depicted as more of a fantasy; the heroine is rarely if ever shown experiencing terror, stress, or trauma as a result.
The first historical romances appeared in 1921, when Georgette Heyer began writing romances set during the English Regency period (1811-–1820), when the Prince Regent ruled England in place of his ill father, George III. Heyer was inspired by Austen's novels. Although Austen had also written romances set in the Regency period, hers were contemporary novels, describing the times in which she lived. Because Heyer's writing was set in the midst of events that had occurred over 100 years previously, she had to include more detail on the time period in order for her readers to understand. Unlike the other romance novels of the time period, Heyer's novels used the setting as a plot device. Her characters often contained more modern-day sensibilities, and more conventional characters in the novels would point out the heroine's eccentricities, such as wanting to marry for love. Heyer was a prolific author, and write one to two historical romance novels per year until her death in 1974.

RISE OF THE CATEGORY OF THE ROMANCE

In the 1930s, Mills and Boon began releasing hardback romance novels. The books were sold through weekly two-penny libraries and were known as "the books in brown" for their brown binding. In the 1950s, the company began offering the books for sale through newsagents across the United Kingdom.
A Canadian company, Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd., began distributing in North America in 1957 the category romances published by Mills and Boon Mary Bonneycastle, wife of Harlequin founder Richard Bonneycastle, and her daughter, Judy Burgess, exercised editorial control over which Mills and Boon novels were reprinted by Harlequin. They had a "decency code" and rejected more sexually explicit material that Mills and Boon submitted for reprinting. Upon realizing that the genre was popular, Richard Bonneycastle finally decided to read a romance novel. He chose one of the more explicit novels and enjoyed it. On his orders, the company conducted a market test with the novel he had read and discovered that it outsold a similar, tamer novel. Overall, the novels were short and formulaic, featuring heroines who were sweet, compassionate, pure and innocent. The few heroines who worked did so in traditional female jobs, including as nurses, governesses and secretaries. Intimacy in the novels never extended beyond a chaste kiss between the protagonists.
On October 1, 1971, Harlequin purchased Mills and Boon. By this point, the romance novel genre "had been popularized and distributed widely to an enthusiastic audience" in Great Britain. In an attempt to duplicate Mills and Boon's success in North America, Harlequin had improved their distribution and marketing system. By choosing to sell their books "where the women are", they allowed many mass-market merchandisers and even supermarkets to sell the books, all of which were exactly 192 pages. Harlequin then began a reader service, selling directly to readers who agreed to purchase a certain number of books each month.

BIRTH OF MODERN ROMANCE
Kathleen Woodiwiss's The Flame and the Flower
The modern romance genre was born in 1972 with Avon's publication of Kathleen Woodiwiss's The Flame and the Flower, the first romance novel "to [follow] the principals into the bedroom. Aside from its content, the book was revolutionary in that it was one of the first single-title romance novels to be published as an original paperback, rather than being first published in hardcover, and, like the category romances, was distributed in drug stores and other mass-market merchandising outlets.The novel went on to sell 2.35 million copies. Avon followed its release with the 1974 publication of Woodiwiss's second novel, The Wolf and the Dove and two sexy novels by newcomer Rosemary Rogers, Sweet Savage Love and Dark Fires. The latter sold two million copies in its first three months of release. By 1975, Publishers Weekly had reported that the "Avon originals" had sold a combined 8 million copies.The following year over 150 historical romance novels, many of them paperback originals, were published, selling over 40 million copies.
The success of these novels prompted a new style of writing romance, concentrating primarily on historical fiction tracking the monogamous relationship between a helpless heroine and the hero who rescued her, even if he had been the one to place her in danger. The covers of these novels tended to feature scantily clad women being grabbed by the hero, and caused the novels to be referred to as "bodice-rippers." A Wall St. Journal article in 1980 referred to these bodice rippers as "publishing's answer to the Big Mac: They are juicy, cheap, predictable, and devoured in stupefying quantities by legions of loyal fans." The term bodice-ripper is now considered offensive to many in the romance industry.
In this new style of historical romance, heroines were independent and strong-willed and were often paired with heroes who evolved into caring and compassionate men who truly admired the women they loved. This was in contrast to the contemporary romances published during this time, which were often characterized by weak females who fell in love with overbearing alpha males. Although these heroines had active roles in the plot, they were "passive in relationships with the heroes.Across the genre, heroines during this time were usually aged 16–21, with the heroes slightly older, usually around 30. The women were virgins, while the men were not, and both members of the couple were described as beautiful.

ROMANCE NOVELS

Romance novels are divided into two sub-sets, category romances, also known as series romances, and single title romances.Many authors write only within one of the formats, but others, including Jayne Ann Krentz and Jennifer Crusie, have achieved success in both formats.


Category romances are short, usually no more than 200 pages, or about 55,000 words. The books are published in clearly delineated lines, with a certain number of books published in each line every month. In many cases, the books are numbered sequentially within the line.These novels have widespread distribution until they are sold out or until the next month's titles are released and take their place.Writers for the largest publisher of category romance, Harlequin/Mills & Boon, can find their novels translated into 26 languages and sold in over 100 international markets.
To write a successful novel of this length, the "author must pare the story down to its essentials. Subplots and minor characters are eliminated or relegated to the backstory. Nonetheless, category romance lines each have a distinct identity which may involve similar settings, characters, time periods, levels of sensuality, or types of conflict. Publishers of category romances usually issue guidelines for each line, specifying the elements necessary for a novel to be included in each line.Depending on the current market and perceived reader preferences, publishers frequently begin new lines or end existing ones. Most recently, erotic and Christian lines have been introduced while traditional Regency romance lines have ended.

Single title romances
Romance novels which are not published as part of a publisher's category are known as single-title novels. These novels are longer than category romances and average between 350 and 400 pages.Publishers may release the novels over a shorter space of time for sales velocity and publicity reasons, but on average authors write 1.5 novels per year and have one each year published.Single-title novels remain on the booksellers' shelves at the discretion of the store.
Despite their name, single-title novels are not always stand-alone novels. Some authors prefer to write several interconnected books, ranging in number from trilogies to long-running series, so that they can revisit characters or worlds. Such sets of books often have similar titles, and may be labelled as "Number 1 in the XXX Series", but they are not considered series romances because they are not part of a particular line.

Because the definition of a romance novel does not limit the types of plot devices, time frames, or locations that can be included, the genre has grown to encompass a wide variety of material and spawned multiple sub-genres. Sub-genres of romance are often closely related to other literature genres, and some books could be considered a romance subgenre novel and another genre novel at the same time. For example, romantic suspense novels are often similar to mysteries, crime fiction and thrillers, and paranormal romances use elements popular in science fiction and fantasy novels.

Contemporary romance
Contemporary romance, which is set after World War II,is often what people mean when they refer to a romance novel. The largest of the romance novel subgenres, contemporary romance novels are set in the time in which they are written and usually reflect the mores of that time. Heroines in the contemporary romances written prior to 1970 usually quit working when they married or had children, while those novels written after 1970 usually have, and keep, a career. As contemporary romance novels have grown to contain more complex plotting and more realistic characters, the line between this subgenre and the genre of women's fiction has blurred.
Most contemporary romance novels contain elements which date the books, and the majority of them eventually become irrelevant to more modern readers and go out of print. Those which survive the test of time, such as the works of Jane Austen, are often reclassified as historical romances.
Over half of the romantic fiction published in the United States in 2004 (1468 out of 2,285 books) were contemporary romance novels. Contemporary romance novels have twice been chosen by Kelly Ripa to be featured in her Reading with Ripa book club



Historical romance is set before World War II. This subgenre includes a wide variety of other subgenres, including Regency romance. Historical romance novels are rarely published in hardcover, with fewer than 15 receiving that status each year, less than one-fifth of the number of contemporary romance novels published in that format. Because historical romances are primarily published in mass-market format, their fortunes are tied to a certain extent to the mass-market trends. Booksellers and large merchandisers are selling fewer mass market paperbacks, preferring trade paperbacks or hardcovers, which prevent historical romances from being sold in some price clubs and other mass merchandise outlets.
In 2001, historical romance reached a 10-year high as 778 were published. By 2004, that number had dropped to 486, which was still 20% of all romance novels published. Kensington Books claims that they are receiving fewer submissions of historical novels, and that their previously published authors are switiching to contemporary.


Romantic suspense involves an intrigue or mystery for the protagonists to solve. Typically, however, the heroine is the victim of a crime or attempted crime, and works with a hero, who tends to be in a field where he would serve as a protector, such as a police officer, FBI agent, bodyguard, or Navy SEAL. By the end of the novel, the mystery is resolved and the interaction between the hero and heroine has evolved into a solid relationship.These novels primarily take place in contemporary times, but authors such as Amanda Quick have broadened the genre to also include historical timeframes.
Like all romances, romantic suspense novels must place the development of a relationship between the protagonists at the heart of the story. The relationship "must impact each decision they make and increase the tension of the suspense as it propel the story. In turn, the events of suspense must also directly affect the relationship and move the story forward."Romantic suspense novels tend to have more "clean" language, without the "emotional, intimate" descriptions often used in more traditional romances. Because the mystery is a crucial aspect of the plot, these novels are more plot-driven instead of character-driven.
This blend of the romance and mystery was perfected by Mary Stewart, who wrote ten romantic suspense novels between 1955 and 1967. Stewart was one of the first to seamlessly combine the two genres, maintaining a full mystery while focusing on the courtship between two people. In her novels, the process of solving the mystery "helps to illuminate" the hero's personality, helping the heroine to fall in love with him.
Paranormal romance blends the real with the fantastic or science fictional. The fantastic elements may be woven into an alternate version of our own world in an urban fantasy involving vampires, demons, and/or werewolves, or they may be more "normal" manifestations of the paranormal—humans with psychic abilities, witches, or ghosts. Time-travel, futuristic, and extraterrestrial romances also fall beneath the paranormal umbrella.
These novels often blend elements of other subgenres—including suspense, mystery, or chick lit--with their fantastic themes. A few paranormals are set solely in the past and are structured much like any historical romance novel. Others are set in the future, sometimes on different worlds. Still others have a time-travel element with either the hero or the heroine traveling into the past or the future. Between 2002 and 2004, the number of paranormal romances published in the United States doubled to 170 per year. A popular title in the genre can sell over 500,000 copies.
Many paranormal romances rely on the blend of contemporary American life with the existence of supernatural or magically empowered beings, human or otherwise; sometimes the larger culture is aware of the magical in its midst, sometimes it isn't. Some paranormal romances focus less on the specifics of their alternative worlds than do traditional science fiction or fantasy novels, keeping the attention strongly on the underlying romance.Others develop the alternate reality meticulously, combining well-planned magical systems and inhuman cultures with contemporary reality.


The first futuristic romance to be marketed by a mainstream romance publisher, Jayne Ann Krentz's Sweet Starfire, was published in 1986 and was a "classic road trip romance" which just happened to be set in a separate galaxy. This genre has become much more popular since 2000. Krentz attributes the popularity of this romance genre to the fact that the novels "are, at heart, classic historical romances that just happen to be set on other worlds.
A science fiction romance is a romance novel that takes place in a story that would otherwise be classified as a science fiction story.


Romantic fantasy
Fantasy Romance, also known as Romantic Fantasy, is a subgenre of fantasy fiction, describing a fantasy story using many of the elements and conventions of the romance genre. Romantic fantasy has been published by both fantasy and romance lines, with some publishers distinguishing between "fantasy romance" being more like a contemporary fantasy novel with romantic elements, and "romantic fantasy" with more emphasis on the romance elements of the story.


Time-travel romances are a version of the classic "fish out of water" story. In most, the heroine is from the present day and travels into the past to meet the hero. In a smaller subset of these novels, the hero, who lives in the past, travels forward into his future to meet the heroine. A successful time-travel romance must have the characters react logically to their experience, and should investigate some of the differences, both physical and mental, between the world the character normally inhabits and the one in which they have landed. Some writers choose to end their novels with the protagonists trapped in different time periods and unable to be together--to the displeasure of many readers of the genre.


Inspirational romance, as the market exists today, combines explicitly Christian themes with the development of a romantic relationship. In 2004, 167 novels were published in the inspirational romance subgenre. These novels typically do not include gratuitous violence or swearing, and the central courtship is chaste. Sex, if it is present at all, occurs after marriage and is not explicitly detailed. Many novels in this genre also focus on the hero or heroine's faith, turning the love story into "a triangle: the man and the woman and also their relationship with God. Themes such as forgiveness, honesty, and fidelity are common.
The first line of series inspirational romances debuted shortly after the 1980 U.S. presidential election, when Silhouette launched their Silhouette Inspirations line. The books were aimed at born-again Christians and were marketed in religious bookstores. The Silhouette Inspirations line was closed after Harlequin acquired Silhouette in 1984 because it was not profitable.However, Christian publishers continue to produce romance novels, including historical and contemporary.

Multicultural romance typically features a hero and/or heroine who is African-American, although some multicultural lines also include Asian or Hispanic heroes or heroines or interracial relationships. The first line of multicultural romance novels, Arabesque, was launched by Kensington books in 1994. BET Books purchased the line in 1998, and the number of new authors that they publish has continued to expand each year. BET has also developed some of the Arabesque novels into made-for-television movies.
In 1999, Kensington Publishing launched the first line of Latino romance novels - ENCANTO. The ENCANTO novels were originally released in two ways - a bilingual Spanish/English version and a Spanish only version. Two novels were published every month until late 2001 when the line went into hiatus. Despite the demise of the line, several of the ENCANTO authors have continued writing novels with Latino protagonists namely, Sylvia Mendoza, Tracy Montoya, Caridad Pineiro, Berta Platas, Lara Rios and Lynda Sandoval.
Although romance novels featuring African-Americans and Hispanic protagonists are becoming more popular, those featuring Asian or Asian-American characters are rare. Author Tess Gerritsen believes this is due to the fact that there are fewer Asian-American women who read romances: "We read romances because we want to feel good about love...in order to do that, the reader must identify with the heroine.
Erotic romance, sometimes called romantica, is a blend of romance and erotica. Erotic romance novels are characterized by strong sexual content, but can contain elements of any of the other romance subgenres. Erotic romance novels tend to use more frank language, avoiding many of the euphemisms used in books with milder content. These novels also usually include more sex scenes, often focusing more on the sex act rather than being a more traditional love scene, and may include more unusual positions or acts. Despite a greater emphasis on the sex scenes, however, erotic romance is not to be confused with pornography. While pornography would concentrate solely on the sex acts, erotica novels include well-developed characters and a plot which could exist without the sex acts
Erotic romances lengths run from short stories to single-title novels. Some of these are published as part of a category, such as Harlequin Blaze, while others are published as part of an anthology and are only novella length. Even single-title erotic romances may be as short as a novella, however. There are several publishers currently producing erotica including: Black Lace, Samhain Publishing, Avon Red, Spice, & Ellora's Cave.
Many of the publishers of erotic romance are either small press publishers or electronic book publishers. Writers often have more leeway in what types of erotic acts can be included when working with an electronic publisher than they would have working with a print publisher. The market for erotic romances has been growing rapidly, leading some publishers to create new lines for these types of books.Some subjects are still considered taboo, even with erotic romance. Themes such as pedophilia, incest, and bestiality are discouraged by all publishers.
The market for erotic romances has been growing rapidly. Ellora's Cave, an electronic publisher which focuses on erotic romance, became the first electronic publisher to be recognized by the Romance Writers of America as a legitimate publisher.
