Besides being really cold outside, we have been very blessed compared to so many others.The sun was out but it was only in the single digits... You know it's cold when Milo and Charlie don't get wet :-)But I'm not here to chat about the cold, the ice, or the snow, let's talk about.... Love is a slow build in my mind.

Here Comes The Bride - Me !

 For all the romances I've written, none of them feature a wedding. They definitely have a Happy Ever After but not a wedding, or even a proposal now that I think about it. I think that's because I believe that step is best taken unhurriedly. That getting to the point of committing to a life together is best done once you really know someone, warts and all.Taking that sentiment to the extreme,

Last Sunday was the Super Bowl. While the game is always fun, most of the time I watch to see the commercials. I work in advertising so I guess it makes sense.

Love in the 1940s by Lynn Lovegreen

The novel I’m currently querying is set in 1941. It’s a young adult mystery wrapped in a love letter to the 1940s, because my parents were teens during that decade. I blame them for my sentimentality. All the movies they raised me on were full of romance. Here’s my totally subjective list of the top five romantic movies of the 1940s, in case you want to indulge in some old-fashioned romance this

Unlawful Orders - Black History Month edition

 April 10, 1945The date doesn't mean much to most people. That's because most people have never heard of the Freeman Field Mutiny.  101 US Army Air Force officers faced a possible death penalty when they refused  a direct order from a superior officer while World War II raged.
