Authors I admire

There is so much talent out there. I am often awestruck at the quality and consistently well-crafted stories coming from the pens (ok, keyboards) of my favorite romance writers. Names that come immediately to my mind, and maybe yours too, include fellow Sonoma resident Bella Andre, along with Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele and Jackie Collins. And there are more, lots more—some already familiar names, and others just starting out on the romance road. Their creative plots, characters, locations and dialogue sometimes leave me breathless…and always yearning for more. The more I read, the better I come to understand and appreciate their ability and dedication to sharing a good story.
