Summer Reading

I love reading anytime, and carry a book with me everywhere. Ten minutes here, fifteen there, and you'd be amazed how quickly the book is finished. I love to discover a new author who has a nice long backlist. I also reread favorites to analyze what about that book makes me love it. Certain books are old friends who are always there to offer comfort--those by Louis Lamour, Jodi Thomas, Lorraine Heath, Julie Garwood, Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick, Nora Roberts, Anna Jeffrey, and others are on my keeper shelf. I've read my copy of Maggie Osborne's PROMISE OF JENNY JONES so many times the pages are falling out. Jenny Jones is an unusual heroine to be sure, but one to whom honor is everything. Maggie Osborne created an unforgettable character in Jenny Jones.

And now, oh dear, back to crafting my own novels and creating what I hope are memorable characters.
