Purple Heart for Valentines Day
By Diana McCollum.
I’ve spent a great deal of time pondering what I should write about this month. The subjects that were suggested by our Blog Queens "Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum."I chose something entirely different.
I realize death is a sad subject to discuss. It’s going to happen to all of us at some point in time. The hope is we live long, healthy, happy and

A Different Drummer by Lynn Lovegreen
(Note: this was previously posted on www.lynnlovegreen.com.)
I was the nice, quiet kid who read a lot. I had friends and could be social when I was in the mood or circumstances called for it, but I was a bit weird. One of my favorite things to do was find a quiet place in the woods and tell myself fairy stories. While other kids played sports, I curled up with a book or listened to

Why I Read #ownvoices Books by Barbara Binns
Hi everyone!
I am Young Adult and Middle Grade author Barbara Binns, writer of contemporary and realistic fiction for adolescents and teens. As my tagline says, I write Stories of Real Boys Growing Into Real Men - and the people who love them.
This has been a chameleon month for me, and I apologize for posting this late. But my mind rotated between three subjects and I'm not the worlds

Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone by Eleri Grace
Sometimes the prompt for the
monthly blog stumps me, and I’m forced to ruminate for a few days before
settling on the best theme and angle. With this one, I immediately knew how I
would approach it. You see, both my heroines and I know a bit about marching to
the beat of a different drummer.

Living to the Beat of a Different Drum by Dora Bramden
When you don’t fit in you have no choice but to live a
different kind of life, one that is a path forged out of necessity. It can be
difficult as you face an unknown road but also freeing because you aren’t bound
by the restrictions of a normal life.
My
parents were raised on farms in Tasmania, but I was born in working-class
suburb north of Melbourne Victoria. In some ways, I was socially

I Never Do Things Easy by Paty Jager
This month at RTG the theme is “Marching to a Different Drummer.” I can tell you about that!
I’ve always been an independent spirit. My mom said when I was a baby, I didn’t like to be held. I’ve always been happy to hang out by myself, which was good considering I had two brothers. One is 18 months older and the other 4 years younger. I spent most of my time either reading, listening

Head or Heart?
By: Marcia King-Gamble

When asked what I do, and people learn that I’m a romance
writer, eyebrows shoot sky high. Sometimes there’s even a visible smirk.
Translation, this woman’s head is in the clouds; she’s not reality based. The irony of it is, I consider myself a romantic realist. Gotta love with both your head and heart.
