Once Upon a Time...

All of us love books...

At one time or another in our lives, we all find enjoyment in books, whether they be books of poetry, fiction, or non-fiction.  I love to read, as well as write, and my favorite books are romance novels.  When I was young, I loved to read books about horses.  I was a total horse freakazoid.  When I grew older, I loved books about people and feelings.  I read Tolstoy's works in the 6th grade.  I read T E Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom.  I read Lew Wallace's Ben Hur.  I read everything I could get my hands on.  I devoured the OZ books by L Frank Baum.  I spent hours in my tiny local library (upstairs above the Fire Dept) and in my school library.

As I matured, and raised a family, I found that Romance books gave me enjoyment.  I was able to believe that men and women found special loves, and lived special lives.  It was a revelation of sorts, and I was hooked.

 Now I write books, and that gives me great pleasure.  It is marvelous to know that other women read my books and perhaps find enjoyment in the scenarios and plots I write.  That other women get the shivers when they read a sexy passage in one of my books, and go back to read it again and again.  

So my Christmas gift to the world is my body of works as a romance author.  It is a part of me that I share daily with thousands of other women around the world.  And I hope they enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Hugs!
