Dear Blue Bookcase Reviewer,

I would like to forward a copy of my novel to you for review.
Genre: historical/romance.
‘William & Lucy,’ is an eBook of 89,506 words. I believe it will attract Jane Austen, Diana Gabaldon and Nicholas Sparks fans alike.

My novel takes place in England, 1798. It was inspired by William Wordsworth’s famous poem, “She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways”. This is one of five poems Wordsworth wrote on the subject of a girl named Lucy, who is one of literary history’s most enduring mysteries. To this day, scholars debate her existence: Was she a real woman? An idealization? A nod to the poet’s own sister? Wordsworth went to his grave without ever answering the question. My novel tells William and Lucy’s story…

Exactly what constitutes "Romance" as a category? Are any scenes involving six seen as "Erotica?" I need to understand your parameters before making a submission.
Thanks,
