I am working really hard to get out a new book in April. I think it is an excellent month for a love story release. I love April because not only is it spring time but the weather changes and the birds come out, things start to grow. It is the most beautiful thing to see when we take a pause and watch the seasons change. And of course, love is in the air. What do you think?  So I hope to have my new book out this month, and it is a beautiful contemporary love story. I know that most of my novels so far are historical love stories,…

Love can be hard sometimes. I will say that it isn’t always easy because sometimes those you love do things that you disagree with or that are not nice. This can create a problematic aspect of love because love means being patient and being there for a person no matter their faults. But sometimes, the faults can be unnerving. Take a parent who loves their child, yet the child may do something that frustrates the parent. The parent still loves the child no matter what. But that is where love can become hard.  Love can come easily to some, but sometimes keeping that love alive can be complicated and complex.…

In my last blog, I talked a bit about spring and how spring can be seen as the time for love, a time for restarting. I wanted to go into more detail about how the spring can affect our lives and our love lives.  It is time for a restart. What does this mean? No, it doesn’t mean to start a new relationship each and every spring. But what this means is to renew what you have, to find the beauty of things coming back to life. If we look at the flowers blooming, some are new flowers but some are old plants that open up to the world again.…

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I will be blogging on Mondays instead of Sundays. With spring being here and summer so close, my weekends are filled with all kinds of things. So I will change it up just a bit.  Spring, how I love each season, for each one has great things that come with the start of the season. Spring brings flowers and animals out of their hiding places. Spring brings out love and romance. Although I can find something romantic about all the seasons, spring is known to be a season for love. Why is that? Well, because it brings out a fresh start…

I often wonder what kind of humans we would be if there were no ability for love within us. It can be interesting to look at and analyze. Without love, who would we be? Would kindness not exist? How would we interact with family, friends our partners? It is an exciting concept and one that leaves many things less desirable. Without the ability for love, we would cease being human because love is the foundation of what we are. Without love, why would we be kind or care about others, family or friends? Without love, we cannot experience joy, and without joy, we cannot experience sadness or anger/ without love,…

I love to watch romance movies, especially comedies, in my off time. Why? Because in today’s world, love is not perfect. Love can be messy and funny, which is portrayed in these movies all the time. You can find a lot of truth when watching a movie because, like in books, people always portray a certain reality of life in movies. Sometimes romantic comedies show us a lighter side to love, and that love can be found in any opportunity. These kinds of movies want to create a sense of love that can happen anywhere, which I believe is true. Romantic comedies help us believe that love is possible. This…

I am currently working on two novels, one in the 1800s and one more nowadays. I find it fascinating how much there can be such a massive difference in writing and how some things are the same. The things that can be different are how people talk about what they were and what they used. Such as, we have cell phones now, as, in the 1800s, they did not. But some things are always the same. Love is universal and always present. That is one thing that I love about what I write. Love is a constant. Whether you have a cell phone or not, whether you wear fancy dresses…

“Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.” Hamlet Love is a universal thing. There is no life without love when it comes to us humans. Yes, we can say that our instincts are a driving force, but I do believe that the one thing that makes us so different from animals is our ability to love and that the love we have for another can change our behaviors in good ways.  I do not believe that our instincts are the driving force in our lives, but the love or lack of love that we…

In today’s world, fighting seems to be a natural response to many [people. People get angry and fight. People want things and fight. But this is not what love is about. Love is releasing the anger and seeing the other side. Love is about compromises and giving. It is about giving yourself to another regardless of what they say or do.  A famous saying is to make love and not war. People may see this saying as being sexual instead of going to war and killing people. I see it differently. I like to take this saying apart just a bit. Making love for me means using love as a…
