VBT Day 6 – Let’s Talk About Betrayal
Monday, August 11th, 2008 Leave a Comment »


Happy Monday Everyone!

A Love For All Times Virtual Book Tour is back on the information highway this week and I’m spending the day with my friend and sorority sister Ann Christopher. Stop by AnnChristopher.com! and join the discussion on betrayal – one of the themes from my latest novel, When a Man Loves a Woman. At the end of the day, we’ll give two copies away to lucky commenters.

Ann Christopher practiced law for six years before retiring and becoming a stay-at-home mom after her second child was born. Ann’s romance writing career launched July 2006 with the release of Trouble and then Risk in February 2007. Ann also writes for Harlequin/Kimani and her first book with them, Just About Sex, was released in March 2007 and her second book, Sweeter Than Revenge, was release January 2008.

Visit Ann Christopher online today!

Until next time – stay well and be blessed.

What’s Between The Covers?
Monday, August 4th, 2008 Leave a Comment »

Can a romance fiction involve more than the ‘happily ever after’ between the lead characters?

Well, I certainly think so!

And you don’t have to be an avid romance reader to enjoy the real-life issues that are used as story premises by many of today’s romance authors.
These authors pen reads that are fresh, clear and decisive, a far cry for the ‘bodice rippers’ of old. In fact, the story premise of my latest release, When a Man Loves a Woman explores the issues of betrayal, forgiveness, and perseverance after the lead female character discovers that her ex-husband is gay. Hmmm, you probably didn’t expect that in a romance novel, huh??

That’s precisely my point. Not all romance fiction involves those fairy tale stories of the rich boy meets poor girl. I’m not trying to convert anyone to romance fiction. The choice is yours. However, you just might find a really good read or two in the romance section of the local book store.

Until next time – stay well and be blessed.
