• Love=Happily ever after…or happy for now? (Part One)

  

  In honor of Valentine’s Day. I am asking a few questions most readers want to know. Does happily ever after exist? Or are we all just happy for now? This is question I read a lot in the writer texts. It is the objective for each romance novel to result in one of these outcomes. […]

• 🎄Favorite Christmas movies and favorite memories…❤️

  

  Every year we watch certain movies that evoke Christmas for us. It does not feel like Christmas until we see and hear them.
