Hi veinglory,

These are not exactly what you are looking for, I get the idea you need a woman in a rocking chair, wearing lace, soft focus, shallow depth of field, hair up, reading a novel or something like that, right?

Anyway, I am posting a few photos below, that have a vintage look in case you find them useful.

Good luck,
Mary

I am thinking more a woman in normal focus in on her bed, sofa, deck chair, park bench, office desk, bus etc. Normal people reading romance not the usual stereotypes--all ages, races and types--also some men. But where the viewer is identifying as being the woman, not the woman as a pin up type image and the book is clealry fiction, preferably romance or erotica.

So basically, normal looking woman reading a novel--or normal looking woman writing on a computer.

I am doing searches but I have enough young attractive white students and young attractive white business women. I need diversity.

Do you have a deadline for these pics? I am a new member and have not chosen my 1st 10 photos to be submitted.

I think I know what you are looking for... I can take the pics tomorrow but will need a bit of time to clean them up and have them critiqued before I submit.

Does it have to be just adult romance? My 14 yr old daughter reads teen romance novels, while my 16 yr old daughter reads adult romance, and my fiance is in favor of the erotica. *winks* Reading can be fun for the whole family... =0)

Thnakyou Mandy, really good stuff--I can use a lot of these. The shots of the older lady are especially good. I may need to pass on some of the younger looking girls as erotic romance can only be sold to adults so I need to avoid to much suggestion of juvenile readers. But its a shame as they are all very nice.

Thanks Mandy
