Yes, and I consider myself truly blessed! But regular exercise and a structured writing schedule are helpful as well.

| Splendid, high-minded, and profoundly moving. Some of the procedural chapters are a little dull. | |

Great review! Tons of soap opera nastiness, but no real horror and certainly no romance. What a disappointment!

“When Crystal May woke up the next morning, she felt like she'd died and gone to heaven. She rolled over on her back, her sleepy eyes blinking in the sunlight. The window curtains were frilly and feminine, softening the light and making her feel protected from the world outside. It was mighty late, but she didn't care. Just lying there in the warm, golden light made her feel so good. She was safe here. She could feel it right down to her bones.”

Thanks Mia! My personal favorites are HOUSE ARREST and CRYSTAL & GOLD. But the one most popular with readers is probably BURNING INNOCENCE!
See you around :-) ♥
Thanks for the friend-invite! :)
Love your profile picture!
Thanks for the add - love the Barbara Taylor Bradford quotes. Am a big fan of the Emma Harte Series, I've lost count of the number of times I've read that series. Just working my way through it again so I can read the 7th book. I think the Ravenscar trilogy is going to be the next set I read. Are there any others you've really enjoyed?
Thanks for the recommendation of "Love for Lydia". I enjoy H E Bates, a author who sadly seems to have gone out of fashion. Quite hard to get hold of him in NZ, but whenever I see one of his novels in a second-hand shop I always grab it. Did so recently only to find it was one of the Larkin novels, which I have bound as a single and have read. They are a little out of his normal style, but still eminantly readable. Will certainly look out for "Love for Lydia". Thank you.

I've just added a doctoral dissertation from St Andrews' College about Archbishop Stigand, who was court chaplain to Anglo-Saxon kings from Cnut (usually spelt 'Canute' in English) up until 1070. I'm finding it interesting, but I obviously need more background info, for I'm not getting some of the 'as everyone knows...' references.
I LOVE Wolves of Willoughby Chase too!"
Yes, it's one of those unique books -- not a children's book, not for grown ups, not a horror story, not a romance . . . it's like walking into an amazing dream!
I LOVE Wolves of Willoughby Chase too!
