Top 10 acceptable reasons to bother a romance reader (or writer)

Guest post from author Isabel Jordan 

The top 10 acceptable reasons to bother a romance reader while they are reading (or an author while they are writing) are:  

1. Blood, death, and/or dismemberment (and if it’s dismemberment, it better be important parts. No pinky toes, or fingertips)
2. You found a delightful romance featuring their favorite combination of tropes and it's ON SALE  
3. You brought them a box of warm, fresh-from-the-bakery doughnuts
4. Jensen Ackles is at the door, asking for them (would also accept Chris Hemsworth, Adam Driver, Ben Barnes, or Hugh Jackman...or the gorgeous person of their choice)
5. The Publisher’s Clearinghouse people finally showed up with their giant novelty check  
6. A re-do of The Rise of Skywalker (a version with a GOOD plot where the last Skywalker doesn't DIE at the end) is on, like, right NOW
7. The house is on fire (and it better be a BIG fire, right outside their reading room--because if it’s only a small fire at the other end of the house, they'll be pissed)
8. You want to piss them off (note: this will not end well for you)
9. Nora Roberts is on the phone and wants to give them an ARC of her latest book (or, for writers, she wants to give them her secret for publishing so many brilliant books so fast)
10. The giant spider in the basement invited his friends over, and it’s time to surrender the house to them
