We had dogs when we had children. Now the children are adults with children of their own. We have a granddog, a miniature Australian sheepdog who is just perfect for us. Never forgets us, turns himself inside out to greet us. What's not to love!!
Syndam was the first truly physically disabled hero I had read about and the love story was absolutely real to me as I read. I had enjoyed Flowers From The Storm and had thought the Duke the most wonderful of "wounded heros" but Syndam moved to first in my heart instantly. Such obstacles to overcome, Lord love him.
Quiet time. Meditation. Thinking on relationships. How to feel better at letting your natural instincts to control those you love into better spaces OR NOT. Letting go increases your own peace of mind. I am not a writer but I need those small moments to remind myself I am not creating the plot of other's lives/stories.
Merry Christmas, Mary. I love your books, especially the Bedwyns. Although I have a copy of Christmas Beau (Signet Regency Romance, 1991), I have not yet found Christmas Bride. Can't wait to read!!!
