"...gothic romance. Who do you recommend?"
Don't know any modern gothic romance authors, but you can't go wrong with Phyllis A. Whitney. Her's is the type of stories I'd write. When I started writing, I wanted to be like her. It seemed like she visited and then wrote about all these exotic locations (my presumption, dunno). As a writer, I speculated, I could live in different places for 1/2 a year, write a book about that, then move on again. A writer could live anywhere, get paid by a publisher anywhere, right? Remote work before there was such a thing. Her novel, /Feather on the Moon,/ started a love affair with Victoria, and my later being able to visit Buchard Gardens and have high tea at the Empress Hotel was a culmination of that.
I ended up writing SF for reasons stated previously.
