Welcome to Day 13 of the Romancing September Across The World Blog Tour. The question I put out to all of these authors was “What challenges do you face in writing romance in today’s society?”
Don’t forget to go over to Rosie Amber’s page and check out her page too. I’ll put the link at the bottom of this post.
Today my guest author is Kristy Feltenberger Gillespie and I want to thank her for blogging with me today. Here is a little about Kristy and her book Jaded.
What Challenges do you face writing romance in today’s society?
I consider my Young Adult novel, Jaded, as more of a thriller but there’s definitely a romance component included. I think one of the toughest things about writing YA is having friends and families not take the genre seriously. I can’t thank my blogging friends enough because that’s where I receive most of my support!

With help from her mysterious friend Tyrian, and Peaches, the commune leader’s sweet daughter; Jade unearths dark secrets that involve her mother’s affair, her maternal grandparent’s abandonment, and a plethora of murders. To make matters worse, someone is hell bent on ending Jade’s mission for the truth.
