RT Booklovers Convention 2010

RT was amazing. In some ways truly inspiring (talking to readers is always a huge blessing for me), in some ways nerve wracking (there were A LOT of people) and in other ways, the convention was just plain fun.

We arrived on Sunday with the hopes of spending time with our long term Korean host student, Hoonmo. (Very much like a son to us.) We managed a 2 hour dinner. Sigh... College kids! They're still teenagers at first. ;-) It gave us plenty of time to get ready for the conference and decomp...

Take Me Away by Kimberly Fisk

Recently, I received an email from a reader named Cindy. Like so many of us, Cindy is facing some life challenges. In her email, she explained how reading romances provided her with a couple hours of escapism. How books helped to "take her away."

I can't tell you how many times I've done this exact same thing. How, when life gets hard, I reach for a romance novel knowing the characters and story will take me somewhere else. Take me to a place where good always triumphs over evil. Where l...

INTERVIEW WITH KAYLIN MCFARREN

1. Hi Kaylin. Thanks for coming today. Can you give us a brief bio?

As the director of a fine art gallery, I assisted in furthering the careers of numerous visual artists who under my guidance gained recognition through promotional opportunities and in national publications. After a seven-year commitment, I was eager t...
