I’d be in France in the 1500s! What about you?

Fellow readers! Yes or no on this one? Let me know!

As for me, my answer’s a resounding YES. I always read ’em.

I’m so honored to be a part of Read-a-Romance-Month 2019! Here’s a little tidbit from my essay on love and the magic of change:

Romance novels — love stories — can, and do, portray their share of dark matter. But within them, like a bright skein woven throughout a dappled fabric, is an optimistic and unshakable faith in change. That it’s not only possible, but achievable, and it happens just when we’re just about to lose hope. There’s no need to fear, though. See? The heroine and the hero have bettered themselves, they’re changed, their trajectories have met and are firmly joined. 

See? Change; connection; hopefulness. Joy. Magic.

Here it is: love. Magic.

Maybe for us, too. Why not?

Plus, there’s a Q&A, book/author recommendations, and a giveaway! Copies of You May Kiss the Bride and The Laird Takes a Bride, the first two books in my Penhallow Dynasty series, are up for grabs. For a chance to win, simply add a comment at the bottom of the post.

For me — hands down — it’s Stephen King’s terrifying (and heartbreaking) Pet Sematary. What’s yours? Let me know!

I could easily have been the model for this, especially as a kid. ♥

Not to brag, but I’m Olympic level. :)

Inquiring minds want to know! Mine does for sure. Pop by my Facebook page and let me know! :)

I am, I believe, most prone to Buchendschmerz and Stapelschuldgefühl.

Been there, done that. ♥
