I am a romance writer trying to get noticed in the market. I write inspirational and sweet historic romance. I love Regency England and most of my stories are set during that time period, 1800 to 1820.

Moving Right Along



My latest story is moving right along. Thanks to Mel and Rene! I needed a good kick to get started. This is such a great story. I'm excited. The characters are real, but I have no clue about their love story.... So I just made it up.

On another note, for my research, I have been collecting pictures and I made these book covers out of pictures of the house.

Aren't they a riot! LOL

I am hoping I will find a picutre of my hero, Lord Grey. So far, no luck. There might exist one in a private collection, but ... who knows? The house on the cover, that was owned by Grey, is now a hotel. I even e-mailed the hotel asking if they knew if they had a portrait in the collection in the house. See the portrait over the mantel on the left? Maybe they had one? But no. Get this, they had not catalogued the paintings in the house. I'm not sure if I believe that. The portraits in th hotel are probably museum quality. I would think the hotel would be sure to catalogue them.

Sigh.... I think I got the brush off. I bet the person who answered my e-mail was a flunky.

Even without a picture, I can still write.

THat is kind of odd they haven't catalogued their art work. Would they need to for insurance purposes? Glad the BIAW helped.

Nice. Do you use pictures for inspiration? I have a very visual imagination. I might find a toothpaste ad and just stare at it while all sorts of scenes race through my head. I sure wish I could make a picture of my heroine's mother's starship. By the way, her name is Olivia, which is why I decided to visit your blog. It took me so long to choose that name. I needed a female name which was both strong and romantic. 'Star Captain Olivia Delano.'
