As a writer, I’ve written both medieval and western historical romances and also thrown in a few romantic suspense novels along the way. All of these novels were standalones. As a reader, I’m drawn to series, though. I love following continuing characters and seeing their growth and development over time. You think I would have… Read More

Grabbing Inspiration from . . . a TV Documentary?
by Lauren Linwood I am the original History Nerd. I was that kid in school who liked history when it wasn’t cool to do so. I liked it so much that I became a history teacher! My idea of fun is traipsing through all of the Smithsonian museums in D.C. or visiting presidential libraries across… Read More
