Sunday is the day that Jane and I are featured at the Borders True Romance Blog, so that means today is our first column. Woo hoo!

Sue is one of the most recognizable faces in the industry. You might have met her at a conference or at an RWA chapter meeting, or read an interview with her online - it’s hard to get involved in the genre without meeting Sue. Sue started reading romance over ten years ago, and is among the most enthusiastic and well informed romance experts - which is good since she has what has to be The Worst Job in the Universe: she’s the romance buyer for all Borders stores.
