“Romantasy” Is Not a Dirty Word. But It Is the Wrong One.

/ Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, Romance, Tracy Cooper-Posey

Fantasy author Danielle L. Jensen recently pushed back against the “romantasy” label, arguing that it reduces complex fantasy novels to “there was kissing, therefore clearly dragons are optional.” She is not alone. Fantasy romance has always demanded that writers master two genres at once: not just the emotional arc of a romance, but also worldbuilding, magic, politics, danger and impossible choices. So why has a catchy nickname managed to make the genre sound smaller, sillier and less serious than it really is?

The Books I’m Actually Going to Read

/ Tracy Cooper-Posey

I’ve stopped collecting books for the person I imagine I might become someday. No one can read everything anymore—not with thousands of new books appearing every day and old books never truly disappearing.

/ Tracy Cooper-Posey

International Women’s Day celebrates the achievements of women in every sphere of life—but it’s also a reminder that progress never happens by accident. Equality is shaped in everyday moments, in the choices we make, and in the behaviors we accept or challenge. Whether writing strong women in fiction, uncovering the forgotten women of history, or simply modeling respect and fairness in daily life, each of us has the power to influence change.

Why I Will Never Give Up My Historical Romances

/ Historical, Historical Romance, Historical Suspense, Tracy Cooper-Posey

Why do I cling to historical romance? Maybe it’s the dresses—those gowns that could stop a man dead in his tracks. Maybe it’s the slow-burn tension of a hand brushing a sleeve. Or the sweeping backdrop of revolutions, arranged marriages, and the occasional ghost haunting the manor. Modern love stories don’t usually come with corsets, political chess games, or stolen glances across candlelit ballrooms. Historical romance gives us all that, and then some. Here’s why I’m not giving it up anytime soon.
