Rosina Lippi writes under her own name and the penname [[Sara Donati]].

== Biography ==

Rosina Lippi was born on January 14, 1956 in Chicago. She lived for longer periods in Europe and on the East Coast, attended college in Austria where she also taught school for a year before returning to Chicago to continue her education. Her writer's weblog, [http://www.rosinalippi.com/weblog/ Storytellling], includes a series of biographical sketches about her upbringing and family.

Lippi got her undergraduate degree in linguistics at the University of Illinois, Chicago campus, and went on to study at the graduate level at Princeton, where she received both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. Her first academic appointment after receiving her doctorate was at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she taught linguistics and the occasional creative writing course. She was granted tenure and promoted to associate professor in her sixth year at UM, where she was on faculty from 1988-1998. In 1998 she accepted an associate professorship at Western Washington University. In 2000 she resigned her academic post and has been writing full time ever since.

She lives in Bellingham, Washington with her husband and teenage daughter, two dogs and two cats.

== Publishing Career Overview ==

As an academic Lippi published two full length books, two edited volumes and a number of articles in academic journals. She began writing fiction more seriously in 1990, and her first short story, "Letters from Vienna" was published in [[Glimmer Train Stories]] in 1992.

Lippi writes across genres. Her contemporary romance novels appear under her own name, while her historical romances have been published under the penname [[Sara Donati]].

In 1998 Lippi's first novel, [[Homestead]], won the [[PEN/Hemingway]] award and was short listed for the [[Orange Prize]]. [[Homestead]] was not marketed as a romance novel. Her second novel, [[Into the Wilderness]], appeared under the penname [[Sara Donati]] with [[Bantam Books]] and was marketed as historical romance. The fifth novel in the Wilderness series appeared in October 2006. In June of 2006 the contemporary romance [[Tied to the Tracks]] ([[Putnam]]) was published under her own name.

Lippi keeps a writer's weblog where she discusses matters of research and craft as well as the creative process.

It is always fun to see what other people are working on to get inspired. Are you planning on adding other "institutional" series? I can think of quite a few off the top of my head, but if you are in the middle of this, I will hold off. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 15:53, 29 December 2006 (PST)

Kay -- I just added Balogh's 'Simply' series as intitutional as the novels are all arranged around the women who teach at a girls' school.

If you've got more ideas, please go ahead. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
[[User:Saradonati|Saradonati]]

::Were you thinking that there had to be an actual institution involved in the current stories? I was thinking of Jo Goodman's series about the four men who were at school together (the Compass Club), Jo Beverley's series that revolves around men who went to school together (the other of hers is a family series). I think even Madeline Hunter got into the series with a men's "club." There are also those series that involve men working as spies. And Stephanie Laurens did a family series.--[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 17:53, 29 December 2006 (PST)

:::I was thinking of series built around a particular business (there's one series having to do with a security firm, I just can't think of the name of it for the life of me, although each of the novels had to do with a specific precious stone -- black pearls, for example), but I think that most of the series that fall into this category will have to do with schools and clubs, as you've suggested.

I moved this discussion to the series page so we don't forget. Also, I have been hearing good things about you lately, so it is fun to run into you here. I have my eye on your two most recent releases. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 18:09, 29 December 2006 (PST)

::I'm glad you're so comfortable with the wiki editing process, because I'm always forgetting how to do things. I'll resist the urge to ask where you've been hearing good things, and settle for: I hope you enjoy the novels if/when you get around to them.

Bodice Ripper

2006-12-30T02:11:11Z

Saradonati:

If there is a perjorative term in romance fiction, "bodice ripper" is it. The term, officially, refers to a specific era in romance fiction where the hero forcibly "takes" the heroine, or rips her bodice in prelude to raping her. It is not clear why this particular scenario gained popularity, but today's romance authors and readers view the term "bodice ripper" with disgust due to the violent implications of the phrase.

Authors whose names are commonly associated with the term include Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers. Though "bodice rippers" technically can only refer to historical romance (modern women rarely wearing bodices), the press continues to use the term when discussing the romance genre.

This may have to do with the general lack of respect for the genre, which is still widely referred to as trashy. Most non-romance readers have a very narrow understanding of the range of topics and styles covered, and are reluctant to reconsider their position.

There has been a good deal of public discussion, some of it quite contentious, on whether it is possible to raise the general estimation of the genre, and how best to do that. The [[RWA]] has undertaken several approaches to this, including the [[Look Who's Reading Romance campaign]].

Saradonati:

Hi Laura -- I'm so glad that you're adding the Mills & Boon stuff. It's a particular area of weakness for me. I am making one small change to your pages, due to the fact that the "&" is a trigger for programming:
<pre>[[Mills and Boon|Mills & Boon]]</pre>
I learned this when I tried to add Pride & Prejudice -- and kept making myself crazy because I ''knew'' I'd done it. There are a few punctuation marks that programmers decided weren't really important and made them triggers for actions (like the @ mark).

--[[User:Romancewiki|Romancewiki]] 14:03, 24 June 2006 (PDT)

Yes to the Mills and Boon titles -- as they are hard to purchase here, I am especially weak in that area. I'm working on capturing a lot of the older category lines that were U.S. based right now.

As for gushy, when I get highly personal, I often put my signature on my commentary to make it clear that it's a personal decision (the signature button is the second from the right - you can see the results in my comments here.). I don't normally copy out cover copy because of copyright issues -- also I am genetically incapable of *not* changing words. I must rewrite everything. Whenever possible (and time permitting), I like to give enough about the book to help readers who are seeking things and to highlight key aspects of the text (quotable lines, etc). It depends on the book.

Also, you'll notice that I created a page for [[Pamela Regis]] -- you and some of the other professors might want to have your pages as well for biographies, etc.

==My bad==
I should have left a note explaining the edit. Sleeping Beauty is my second favorite of Ivory's books and I don't find it disturbing at all -- and I don't think I'm alone. So I just wanted to leave some room for various takes.

I just deleted some spam from this talk page. And now a real question:

In the Big Wiki there's a way to send a request for changing your login name. The request goes to a 'bureaucrat'. I don't see any provisions here for cases like those. Is there anybody who can help me with this?
