I greatly enjoyed Arranged Love by Diana Rose. The story begins when the main character, Princess Alyona is just twelve years old. Unable to comprehend why her parents insist she live a sheltered existence within the palace walls, Alyona sneaks away and finds herself in a world unlike anything she has ever known. And while […]

I fondly remember the summers when I was a little girl. We would swim in one of those blow-up kiddie pools in the yard, play on the swings, and go to the library and check out books to read. We did this right up until the time when I was reading young adult romance. Books

I was in the mood for something different when I picked up How to Marry A Millionaire Vampire. Well, it definitely is different! Millionaire Vampire Roman Draganesti has lost a fang, leaving him in desperate need of a dentist. Bring in the lovely Dr. Shana Whelan, who’s wanted (dead) by the mob. The two are

I fondly remember the million and one thoughts going through my head when I sat down to write my first book. I was really into Smallville, the TV series about the teenage life of Superman, and I wanted my story to have a romantic triangle like the one I’d seen there, one in which the

I recently shared on social media that my husband and I are expecting a baby girl. We’re bursting with joy and our heads are moving a mile a minute as we plan our baby shower, complete our nursery and reflect on how much our lives are going to change once this new little person comes

My husband and I headed to my parents’ on Sunday to celebrate Easter. It was just the four of us – my mom, my dad, my husband and I – and it got me thinking about how different Easter has been over the last several years, not only because of the pandemic. Last year, during

I remember the days of having a “lunch break” well. Though I don’t miss much about the corporate life, one of the perks was having a designated lunch break, one in which I was actually paid to take a break and eat a meal. Unfortunately, in most jobs I worked, it was never that simple

When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher had a system. After our lessons were finished, we would complete the work we’d been assigned for the day. Afterward, we’d be called up to the teacher’s desk, one at a time, in random order. She would then check our work over and if all was good, we

I’ve mentioned how, a number of years ago, working in a particularly non-stressful day job, I had a lot of time to myself. I eagerly filled that time with reading and writing and with very little distraction at hand (I was cut off from the internet) I slipped inside a world that consisted almost entirely

My husband Bill and I recently started binge-watching old episodes of Supernatural over dinner. We’re not big on TV, but it’s nice to get lost in something non-news-related at the end of the day, and we really enjoyed watching Smallville (which aired on the same network) so we decided to give it a shot.
