YourNovel.com’s Founders Will Be Presenters on Valentine’s Sailing of Ruby Princess

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ — When passengers set sail on the new Ruby Princess this Valentine’s, Feb. 14, they can opt for a little lesson in love.

That lesson, called “The Language of Love,” will be delivered by guest lecturers J.S. Fletcher and Kathy M. Newbern, founders and co-authors at YourNovel.com, where, for 17 years, they’ve been putting couples worldwide between the covers – book covers, that is – as stars in their own romance novel.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Princess Cruises, which of course brought the world ‘The Love Boat,’” J.S. Fletcher said. “Since we’re also travel writers, as well as romance novelists, we know first-hand just how romantic a Princess cruise is. One of our most romantic sailings in 30-some cruises was aboard the Diamond Princess from Auckland, New Zealand, to Sydney, Australia.”

Adds wife Kathy Newbern: “We’ll never forget our romantic balcony dinner, still wearing our spa robes, under the moonlight in Hobart, Tasmania. Those are the kinds of romantic moments we’ll try to encourage guests to create for themselves not just on vacation but in their everyday lives as part of our presentation.”

The session will include some tips from YourNovel.com’s “Language of Love Toolkit” which can be downloaded free from the company’s website, www.yournovel.com. Volunteers will also get the chance to star in scenes from their own romance novel through excerpt readings.

YourNovel.com’s books come in both huggy-kissy “mild” or spicy “wild” versions. Each book is personalized with 26 details about the starring couple crafted from an online questionnaire, such as names, hometown, places of work, eye and hair color, best friends, favorite perfume, cologne and music, affectionate nicknames, and how long they’ve been a couple. There’s even the option of adding the starring couple’s photo to the book cover, and novels come in paperback or hardback.

YourNovel.com offers 25 novels in exotic settings including cruise ships, a dude ranch and ski resort, plus the Caribbean, Rome, Jamaica, Tahiti and New Orleans. There’s historical fiction, a detective novel, and a new golf fantasy book, too.

YourNovel.com’s founders form the husband/wife writing team “Fletcher Newbern” and have been penning their novels since they met and fell in love in 1992.

Fletcher adds, “We’ve been dubbed computerized cupids. What a great job title.”

Newbern says, smiling, “Doing the undercover research is half the fun.”
