DENVER - Bypassing the snail pace of traditional publishing, Darci Balogh has joined the growing ranks of independent authors who choose to bring their work directly to their audience, in this case, mature women who love romance and are at least curious about the Cougar relationship.

With the current Cougar market saturated by erotica and stories involving the aggressive pursuit of younger men, Balogh's "The Quiet of Spring" is a refreshing, well written, contemporary romance novel that brings to the forefront a younger man/older woman relationship based on feelings and attraction instead of conquest.

The 45 year-old author offers her thoughts on being a self-published supporter of Cougar love "I think the old ideas of both relationships and publishing are equally antiquated. Today's women are free to choose who they want to be with, regardless of age or income level, it's about love and how that person makes you feel. On top of that," she adds, "today's authors are no longer restricted by stodgy publishers. We can do what we want, when we want...it's really quite exciting." With tag lines on her Facebook page urging readers to reawaken their wild side, https://www.facebook.com/CougarRomance, in essence, Balogh encourages women and men alike to challenge all of their preconceived ideas and pursue their dreams.

Now available in paperback at Amazon.com, "The Quiet of Spring" is just the beginning for Denver based indie author Darci Balogh. She already has three more stories lined up for the next three books in the series. Combining an honest look at today's modern women with a healthy appreciation for the youth and energy of their male counterparts, the stories in Balogh's Cougar Romance Series will surely find their niche.
