Romance novels can be wonderful tales of love and burgeoning relationships between two fantastic people, the hero and heroine you create. But along with a story of blossoming tenderness and caring, anyone learning how to write a romance novel will also need something more to add to the story - emotional impact, a plot (and often two), a setting, and description. This means you're probably going to have to do some research. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to figure out what research is required or how to go about doing your research.

Research has changed dramatically over the past decade or so. There was a time when you would need to spend hours in the local library, skimming through book after book in search of little tidbits that might add to the authenticity of your setting or your character's background. Today, however, you can find almost anything you're looking for right at your fingertips by using the Internet.
