I have always been an avid reader. It is my avarice for reading that started me writing. I started running out of reading material. My favorite authors write only one book a year or one book every few years. I found I did not like the writing styles of authors that put out two or three books a month. Even the books that come out every month are not my favorite reads. I don't like formulated romance books. My favorite authors have unique stories with
developed What three things do you enjoy about writing in your sub-genre - historical romance? (1) Making my characters real. I make my characters live in a time different from today, but real in feelings, hopes, loves, and society. Time has advanced and technology has advanced but society, emotions, and morality has not. My characters live in the past, but they are just as real and drawn from real people today. (2) History is the second
thing I love to write about in my historical romances. Bear River Spirit is one
of my favorite for historical facts. This book is based on the true story of the
Bear (3) I love spinning stories. I call them the movies of my mind. As my story is written, my mind spins the movie reels. My characters and their stories are as alive as movie in a theatre with actors and actresses making the characters real. My characters are quite real and visible in my mind.

characters. Long dry spells for new books from my favorite authors
prompted me to start writing my own movies of my mind. I was encouraged to
publish them, and I thought why not? I could give others more reading options if
they like reads similar to my favorites. What are the criteria of my favorite
reads? Strong real characters, good story, humor, and family values are the
foundation of my reading and writing. I offer these movies of my mind to other
readers.
