“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” ~Sydney J. Harris I attended my very first meeting of Georgia Romance Writers on my fiftieth birthday, in August 2009. I felt like a deer in headlights as I signed in at the registration table; I might have bolted, but Anna Doll took me under her wing and steered me through the door, where I was given the warmest of welcomes. Everyone accepted me as a fellow writer even though I felt like a fraud, and [...]

Savor The Moment By Nora Roberts Berkley ISBN-13: 978-0425233689 I have finally—finally—read my first Nora Roberts books. I know, I know . . . I consider myself an avid romance reader and never read La Nora. Well, I have remedied that and I’m so glad I did. I was a bit hesitant because Savor the Moment is the third book in a series, but thank goodness for friends! A friend (and die hard Nora and J.D. Robb fan) loaned me the first two books in the Bride Quartet series to read before this one. Suffice it to say, I adore this [...]

by Linsey Lanier This month, Nicki Salcedo has challenged us to write a contempor-ized fairy tale. That’s a challenge! But I’m game. Since I like romance and mysteries stories, I decided to combine it all in the presentation below about a young, hard-bitten female PI who finds herself in an unusual world. Hope it brightens your day. The Clever Detective I should have known it was going to be a weirder-than-average day when my new client’s address turned out to be a hollow tree with a door carved in its side, à la the Keebler cookie elves. I really should [...]
