It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it

So this is happening. The hero and heroine in the third book of the Heroes of Fortune Valley series are getting married…at a walk-in Reno, Nevada chapel. See, they have to get married because…well, you’ll have to read the book to find out. It looks like this, the Chapel of the Bells (isn’t that convenient, hehehehe), only it’s October in Reno. So probably no snow.

One of the best parts of the research involved in being a contemporary romance author is all the virtual traveling I get to do. I need to research these locations! And spend time looking at their sweet pictures so that I can describe every detail (well, not actually but you catch my meaning.)

Next, I got to look for cabins near Reno. I found the most adorable cabin, which (no hyperbole here) sincerely looks like a child’s playhouse from the outside. Inside, it’s larger than you would think, but still: one bedroom, one bathroom. It’s definitely a place you only want to stay in with someone that you reallyreallyreally LIKE. A lot.

Have you ever been to a quicky wedding in Reno? I went to one many years ago. Teenage bride, six months pregnant. Listen, I know that’s a cliche but I didn’t write it. It really happened. And here’s the kicker: twenty-seven years later, they’re still married.
