Be Proud of Yourself

Have you ever had a moment where you felt you did something just right? Baked the perfect cake, sewed the most exquisite quilt, or climbed the highest mountain? I finally have.

I’ve written my best book after having published eighteen contemporary, paranormal, and YA romances, I combined my love of romance, writing, and history and wrote The Locket, mybook.to/TheLocketRD a World War II historical romance about Vanessa and Simon who meet in the Warsaw Ghetto, fight for freedom there, commit to love each other for a lifetime,
eventually get sent to a concentration camp, and each have a powerful will to survive despite all odds.

To write what I consider my best novel, I did hundreds of hours of research with the Holocaust research librarians at the Washington, DC Holocaust Museum, watch hours of survivor testimonies, and combined that research to create a story that I hope proves true love can survive despite all odds.

Having always been a history lover, this foray into historical romance taught me that this is my true calling. I’m now researching the internment camps that kept hundreds of thousands of Japanese-American citizens captive during World War II because the country suspected they might be spies or enemies of the state. This sad period of US history will become another historical romance called For the Love of Lily, coming out in 2021.

So, if you’ve written a book that you are very proud of, tell us about it. We want to know, so we can check it out and let you know what we think. Don’t be shy. It’s not every day when you toot your own horn but every once in a while, it just makes sense to do it. Be proud, and let the world know you are.
