Authors that have influenced me...
Emilie Baker Loring was one of my absolute favorite authors when I was growing up. My sisters and I found this basement bookstore where an older woman was selling her terrific collection of paperbacks. (This was also my source for Grace Livingston Hill books, but that's another post. ;-)
Mrs. Loring's main characters were always very genteel, usually raised in the lap of luxury at a time when that meant, "Tennis, anyone?" They were accustomed to genuine fur coats, incredible jewels, and loyal servants. They were also fiercely loyal themselves, to their friends, their ideals, and their country. Clean cut sons and daughters of the soil, I guess you'd say.
I'd recommend her books to anyone that I didn't believe would scoff at them. There's almost always a happy ending, and the woman marries the right man, even if they're both incredibly stubborn about it. lol...I found that Mrs. Loring didn't have her own group on Goodreads, so I went ahead and started one. It's not swank or anything, but if you have the time, come on over and tell me what you think.
