INTENT
I started this blog for several reasons.
1. To connect with other readers that share my love for romance books and the covers.
2. To exchange a love and appreciation for the models that grace the covers of our beloved romance books.
3. To offer good sound reviews written by myself on books that I personally read and purchased, or by my reviewers upon my approval of content.
4. To offer readers and fans of the models, recommendations on book sites for their enjoyment based on my opinion and experience on the site for good content and information in the romance community.
5. To be able to speak candidly on books, authors, models and illustrators.
6. To promote the artists illustrations that become our romance covers.
7. A place where we can be ourselves and smooze with one another in a non-formal setting with respect for the models, authors, artists and the romance community at large worldwide.
8. To create an official fan site/blog for several models with their express permission to do so and will be an extension of my official fan site of Romance Treasure which will open back up in the late fall of 2014.
9. This blog will not be a formal, hoity doidy blog, this is a blog to have some fun and be a little laid back.
10. And last, Romance Treasure is now the official web home of John DeSalvo. He will always hold a top spot here at RT.

PURPOSE
The work I do for the models is of my own accord in a way to further promote their contributions to the romance industry. Models in an official capacity are John DeSalvo, Anthony Catanzaro, Tracy James, Andrei Claude and Jason Baca. Nathan Kamp and Paul Marron are here as guests only.
Official capacity meaning I have been given permission to display their photos and information upon their and my discretion. In, most cases the models themselves send me their photos to use.
The models will not be participating in this blog whatsoever. IF, in the future if one decides to join occasionally, it will be advertised as such.

I do not in any way receive any monetary compensation for any content on this blog. I do not take any credit for any original artwork or illustrations. The custom graphics found on this blog are of my own creation. If I display a graphic created by someone else I will display their name and copyright if known. In most cases I have obtained permission from the artists and models to display their artwork and the graphics I have created from them. NO custom graphics are sold to anyone for their personal or commercial use from this blog. The books that I review I have purchased with my own funds, and I have an extensive personal library of romance books.
Although this is a place to express our own opinions, I reserve the right to remove any blog post that is in poor taste to reflect racism, blatantly trashing any model, author or artist. Such behavior will not be tolerated. my reputation is on the line as well as the models, authors and artists represented here.
Custom graphics created by me as RTAnnie will bear my copyright with a small red rose in the lower left hand corner. These images although they are on a public site does not belong to you. They may not be taken by right clicks, save this image, or long press or screen shots and used on any website, Blog, Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter without my express permission in writing. This is the same as stealing.
Any components used in my creations are from the public domain, or I have purchased or created myself. Some images are given to me by the models in which they or the photographer retain the copyright for the original. I hold the copyright to the custom graphic that I have created with designer programs which I have also purchased. (re: Photoshop, Printshop, Fireworks and few smaller programs). Legal action can be taken if I find any such occurrence. And I do surf the web.
This blog will from time to time offer contests and give-a-ways including shipping and handling which I will purchase from my own funds. Anything that I sell will be done from my own website, a storefront through Romance Treasure website in the fall of 2014. Romance Treasure was created by me in 2006.
I hate to have to write a disclosure with a bunch of legalities, but it is necessary. I reserve the right to make changes to this disclosure at my own discretion.
So, with all said and done, let's have some fun. Happy Reading to All...
Annie @Romance Treasure
