Host Pamela Cook chats to three best-selling rural romance authors - Maya Linnell, Léonie Kelsall and Stella Quinn about writing in this popular genre.

Maya Linnell - a previous guest and host on Writes4Women - writes best selling fiction, gathering inspiration from her rural upbringing and the small communities she has always lived in and loved. Maya has four published novels, Bottle Brush Creek, Wildflower Ridge, Magpie's Bend, and her most recent release Paper Bark Hill. A former country journalist and radio host, Maya also blogs for Romance Writers of Australia. 

Léonie Kelsall is also a previous guest on Writes4Women. Léonie is the author of three rural romances, The  Wattleseed Inn, The Farm at Peppertree Crossing, and her most recent release, River Gum Cottage. She also writes women's fiction/romantic suspense under the pseudonym Laney Kaye. Léonie splits her time between her home and her professional counselling practice in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. 

Stella Quinn is  a little newer to the writing scene. Her rural romance novels are warm-hearted and filled with characters you want to be best friends with. She loves rural small town settings, island settings, and everyday heroes, and describes her books as 'the babies of Sea Change and Virgin River. Fabulous. She has two rural romances published by Harlequin: The Vet from Snowy River and her very recent release A Town like Clarence.

Join Pam, Maya, Léonie and Stella as they discuss how they got into what they love about writing rural romance, the characteristics of the genre, who reads it and more in the first part of this chat. Tune in next week as the discussion continues with writing sex scenes, social media, where the genre is headed and writing processes.
