About This Newsletter

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.~~Charlie Chaplin

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.~~Thora Birch

He believes in romance. He isn't merely going through the mechanical movements of a man in an exciting situation. He is, vitally and positively squeezing the last drop of delight from living the best life he knows in the best way he can.~~Leslie Charteris

Letter from the editor

He came home yesterday with the back of the pick-up truck FULL of lilacs. White, purple, pink, and lilac lilacs! There are vases now in every (and I DO mean every) room in the house! He came to the door with his arms full of them and a funny sort of "I hope this works" smile on his face. He'd dragged them a half mile through the woods from an old abandoned homestead back to the truck. Three trips worth! He'd come across the lilac bushes last fall while out hunting and remembered where they were. Yeah, it worked!

He brings me coffee in the morning after spending a few moments picking out a specific one to match whatever I might have going on. That's the way to start a day!

He gets me earrings to match the tree on my new business cards. Can you say melt?

Romance is alive and well in the real world. Sweet, funny, goofy little things that bring dazzle smiles. There is more to romance than the cliched red roses and diamond bling. Nice? Sure. But all too often it seems that folks seem to think that a red, red rose is the epitome of romance. It really isn't. Let your characters have a leaf fight, have him pick daisies from the side of the road, let her wrap a can of beer in his favorite team's t-shirt and let them exist in the goofy real world for a change...the world where the unexpected is often the most romantic thing of all!

The dream was to start my own small press publishing house for self-publishing authors. And I now have!
