Take my breath away
First, I would like to apologize for the past couple of weeks I have not posted a blog. Not because I did not want to but because I had computer issues. Because of this, I have not posted. Now I am back and will continue to post my blogs on Mondays, although it will be on Monday night instead of in the morning. So, I hope that you keep enjoying all that I write. Have you ever had that feeling where when you meet someone, they take your breath away? I cannot say that I have experienced that feeling but I do know that in the romance world, we use…

Life
Life is full of good moments and bad, we will always come across both. What is important is not the good and bad moments but how we act in those moments. Life is too short to live in negativity, so looking at each moment with a positive view is important. And with love, this is always a key component. We can enjoy those around us and see the love in each situation, or we can think of only the bad, or what is annoying or frustrating us. In the end your perspective on each moment makes or breaks the moment. So think about the positive, think about what’s important. Don’t…

It’s the New Year
It is 2023 now, and we are off to a new year. Makes me wonder about our wishes and dreams for the following year. I have made some for this next year, as I am sure many of you have too. A new year can bring new beginnings and further the good things in life. Now how does this work with love and relationships? Well, a new year means you can start anew in a relationship or maybe even start going out and see what is out there for you. A new year can also mean making deeper connections with those you love. Finding a sweet spot in your relationship…

Halloween
Last week I forgot my blob, not because I did not wish to do it, but because of Halloween and my children being quite excited and having so much to do. So I apologize for skipping a blog. To think about it, Halloween is not really a holiday that I care for too much because it is all about scaring people. And I am all about love. However, in even the worst moments, I can see that there can be some fun and romance in it. And with this in mind, I can think up one scenario that can make a very romantic setting. That is when two people meet…

The Moment
When it comes to romance, one of the best moments in any romance novel is that moment of the declaration of love. Whether it be offhandedly said or said in a rage or if it was planned in a romantic setting, that moment is one of the reasons I know I read romance novels and write them. I love coming up with unique and exciting yet realistic ways for the moment to happen in a book. Although in real life, sometimes it happens on the spur of the moment. In life that moment is a huge moment between two people. And sometimes it comes out in ways that make it…

Sharing the season of fall
I love the fall. I find it very inspiring in my writing. Because we can do so many things in the fall. I love this fall season, the holidays, and the spices. The air is crisp, and fun outdoor activities, like apple picking, comes to mind. The smells of everyone cooking all the fall foods. I love the fall. So much to this time of year, as leaves turn colors and we end an old year. This is the time of year to see the beauty that the world has to offer to us. This is the time to enjoy what we have, to look at what the year has…

It’s Fall
As I look outside today, I see the beauty of the fall season. I love the fall and how romantic it can be to walk under colorful trees. All the bright reds, yellows, oranges, the smells and spices of this time of year. Knowing that Halloween and Christmas are on their way. For me, this is my favorite season and the most romantic time of year. Where it is not too cold outside for walks and outside activities. Yet chilly enough at night to want to cuddle up against your love with hot cocoa and a blanket. Just taking a moment Where I live, we celebrate Thanksgiving. As much as…

My Love of Writing
I am currently working on my next book, Simply You. I find it fun and interesting when I write a book, and I start with one idea in mind, but it changes as my book progresses. I love how my characters develop as I write. Makes my characters seem like they could have been real. Sometimes an evil character that I have imagined would end up one way or another, tends to learn and change and, in the end, is not the genuine bad guy of the story. I love writing because there is no end to the possibilities of what could happen. Whether one character is a bad guy…

Just a Thought
In my blogs, I talk a lot about love, from different sides of love to romance and many more things. I have always tried to inspire and create a welcoming place for anyone to read about love, all kinds of love. I am an author who writes about love all the time, and even though these are like fairy tales, I would like to think that love, like my books or any romance author’s book, could in some form come true. Love is love. It may not always be grand, but it can get complicated and come in many different forms. But love is something we share. One thing I…
