Hi Lorraine,
I’m late in getting to read this and therefore replying, but I loved reading about how you came to start writing romance. The fact that you weren’t always a reader was surprising, (in fact, I was expecting to learn that you dicsovered later that you were dyslexic–oh, that writer’s imagination working overtime)but your story gives me hope for my oldest daughter, who seems to have no interest in reading.
Thank you for sharing, and for the many hours of reading pleasure,
Juliet Burns

Thank you, Barbs! I hope you had as much fun at the luncheon as I did. Julia Quinn was a great speaker Hope you enjoy MUSTANG. The fires down south are scary–we have family in San Diego, the devastation is very heartbreaking. I’m glad your brother’s home is safe.

If money was no object, I’d be a world traveler–I’d take my boys to see the pyramids in Egypt, the Mayan ruins in South America, the wilds of Africa, sheep counting in Ireland *g*, to dig for fossils in Utah…and I’d never cook or do laundry….well, I might bake cookies and chocolate cakes

I love these stories-they give a woman hope ;0).

If money were no problem I would fix up my house. We bought a 106 year old house and have been slowly fixing it up, but it needs so much more work, it is 106 years old :0).

I have always dabbled with writing, for as long as I can remember I’ve wrote stories. In high school, I, too, discovered the books of LaVyrle Spencer and, also, Kathleen Woodiwiss, and my stories turned into romances. For years I had a phobia about letting anyone read my stories, my sister was the only one to read them. Last year, I am still not sure how I got the nerve (I think it was the anonymity of the internet), I joined Avon’s Fanlit and met the ladies that became my critique group. I am currently revising my first completed manuscript and hoping I can work up the nerve to start submitting it, since I’ve always wanted to see a book with my name as the author.
