7 May 2026 / Fantasy Romance, New Release, Paranormal Romance, Romance, Tracy Cooper-Posey

What happens when a ten-year anniversary edition becomes something more? While revisiting the Kiss Across Time series for a special collector release, Tracy Cooper-Posey found herself reflecting not just on the books, but on time itself, storytelling, survival, and the strange roads that lead writers to create the stories readers love. Kiss Across Memories is part memoir, part publishing notebook, and part behind-the-scenes look at one of Tracy’s longest-running series.

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

20 April 2026 / 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 first quarter of the year has disappeared in a blur of drafts, edits, releases and looming deadlines—business as usual at Stories Rule Press.

Is Romantasy About to Die? Or Is It Just Growing Up?

“Romantasy.”

Even typing the word makes me twitch.

It sounds like something invented during a marketing meeting that ran out of coffee and started smashing syllables together for sport. And yet here we are — romantasy dominating sales charts, fracturing into micro-niches, and now apparently flirting with pirates.

Is it about to die?

Or is it simply growing up?

You Did This

The Once and Future Hearts hardcover Kickstarter closed at 660% funded. That number isn’t just exciting — it’s enabling. Because of our readers, we’re not just printing books.

Why I Will Never Give Up My Historical Romances

5 January 2026 / 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.
