Now here’s an interesting concept – custom made romance novels.
This online business allows the average Joe (or Jenn) to be the hero/heroine in a novel. Sure it can be you and hubby (booooorrrrrring!!!) but it can also be you and Hugh (or anyone else you fancy).
www.ustarnovels.com offers people this opportunity just be sending the names of yourself and your ‘significant’ other, along with a few salient facts, such as nicknames and physical attributes. Then you choose whether you want a subtler romance or something “steamy.” For the low, low price of $39.95, they’ll send you a 160-180 page book with you and your hero in it.
The novels are apparently set in an array of glamorous destinations throughout Europe, and depending upon the story you select, you might find yourself undercover on a secret mission in Barcelona, being chased by diamond smugglers in the exotic French Rivera or discovering a hidden tomb in Naples. (Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered about the ‘other side of the fence’ you can forget Hugh and do Paris (and I’m not referring to the city!) That’s right, same sex novels are available.
So if it wasn’t hugging Hugh in Havana, I guess I’d go for a Rumba in Roma with J Lo – LOL.
Cool idea or what?
