H.B.’s Favorite Genre
& Why.
I'm not at all ashamed to say I'm a romance junkie!
Why? Because, to me, romance novels are fairy tales for grown
ups.
I don't need a ball gown or a prince to
rescue me. At 35, I've pretty well given up on every having those things in my
life. And if a pumpkin turned into a stage coach or I was sailing through the
sky on a flying carpet, I'd have to figure out who gave me the drugs and where
to get more of them.
On the other hand, give me a tattooed, motorcycle riding
knight on polished chrome or a badass rocker to fall in love with and I'm a
goner. Those are things that I might never have in my life but it's fun to
dream about them. And yes, I'll admit that my reasoning extends to things like having
a loving, committed menage relationship with two men who are as in love with
one another as they are with me or going to a BDSM club.
The other reason I read romance is that my mind seems to stay
turned on when I sleep. No, not that way, although depending on the book, I
suppose maybe that way. Whatever is going on before I go to sleep is what I
dream about. In vivid detail. If I watch a mystery, I will be dreaming in
mysteries all night. If I read kids books and go to bed immediately after, I
get talking chickens and families of cows haunting me all night. So, what
better way to have a good night of sleep than to read a love story?
Book Blurb:
If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has learned
in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for anyone.
Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would never see
her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is offering and
stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams come true.
It doesn’t take long before Julia realizes
she’s made a big mistake.
Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia
than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the
week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to
have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a
twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people.
Is following your dreams worth it if it
means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a
relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?

Author Bio:
I’ve been reading romance novels for over 20 years now. My
fascination started with my mother’s collection of romance novels which lined
half of one wall in the master bedroom of my childhood home. After I graduated
from high school, life began to interfere with my reading and I didn’t read
nearly as often as I would like. When my daughter was born, we decided that it
would be more beneficial for me to be a stay at home mom. To fill the income
gap, I began freelance writing for a variety of websites and print publications.
From there, I progressed to writing blogs as a way to hang on
to the pieces of myself I felt slipping away as I filled my roles as wife and
mother. Blogging slowly morphed from a creative outlet for my writing to a way
to place another egg in my work at home basket.
It wasn’t until I attending a blogging conference in 2012
that I was overcome with the need to write a book. I’d been thinking about it
since I was 15 but it was one of those “someday” dreams. There were two
speakers at that conference who convinced me I needed to do it. Just shy of a
year later, here I am!
