  • Seriously?

      I'm a serious person. But I love to laugh. Hysterically at times if possible. But, back to being serious. I am. I prefer serious conversations, discussions, questions, topics.

  • Wednesday’s Writings

                            My current WIP is moving along slowly, but it's moving. As you know, because I've reiterated it an over-the-top amount of times, I don't write genre romances. I write love stories heavy on the romance. One of the differences I perceive between those…

  • “Writing” movies . . .

              I'd be willing to guess that most writers of love stories/romance novels picture their hero and heroine and who they envision playing them in a movie.  Maybe not most, but some. I don't select an actor for all of my novels, but I definitely have a picture of my hero…

                A solid group (The Association) with a lot of hits, "Never My Love" being one of the prettier songs in this love song category. Hope you enjoy it.    Father, you are Love. We can't really grasp it without you. Thank you is never enough for yours for us.…
