Dear Reader,
Even as a child, I had story ideas that would play through my head each night as I tried to fall asleep. They can be very vivid, almost a movie before my eyes. A few years ago, I was recovering from surgery and stumbled across romance novels. I have always loved historical fiction, but I decided to give a romance a try. It had been years since I had read anything from that genre. I found that it was a terrific escape from reality while I was healing. I started reading everything I could get my hands on, or rather load onto my Kindle app.
Anyway, the ideas that flash through my mind at night now belong to the romance genre. It took me quite a long time, as in I've read hundreds of romance novels by now, to realize that I wanted to give this a real try.
Now I'm inspired to write stories that allow my readers to escape from reality for a little while and experience a happily ever after even if real life isn't always that romantic or idealistic.
I hope that answers your question.

Hi Celeste, I just finished Thor and Greer's story. Fantastic book! I cried and laughed about it a lot. Are you planning on writing more books in this series? I would like to at lease see a book for Tor and one for Tate, as well as one for Shona. By when can we expect a new title to come out?
