We need something to lift our spirits and romance definitely does that. Laurie asked if I sleep well at night and I can say that my stories often keep me awake. They can be fun or nagging, depending on how well the writing is going. I do have some favorite authors...I read mostly romantic suspense these days...Nora Roberts, Laura Griffin are favorites...I love Joanna Bourne for historical and am looking forward to her new release which is just out. katKat Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402796237460681538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-13107154726473357852011-10-20T08:51:30.577-07:002011-10-20T08:51:30.577-07:00I'm very excited for this new book.

I've learned numerous historical facts. I've visited many foreign exotic places. I've been welcomed into small communities. <br />It's been a great way to meet new people .<br /><br />Nothing But Velvet was the first book of yours that I read and loved.<br /><br />I like that your writing covers historical romance, western romance and contemporary suspense romance. <br /><br />Keep on writing! Loved the beautiful pictures on your website of your gorgeous Montana home and views from your trips overseas. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes for your "Against" trilogy.<br /><br />Do you have time to read books? Do you have any favorite author(s) that are a must buy?
