Jen, I had no idea you too are a frustrated secret agent! Love the idea of James Bond meets I Dream of Jeannie. I love Cherry Adair - her books are always full of fast-paced action and adventure (very James Bond, now that I think of it), and loads of sizzling sexual tension. Can't wait to read NIGHT SHADOW.
What a moving story, Linda. My own mom just passed away on Mother's Day weekend. She was an avid reader who introduced me to many romance greats like Victoria Holt and Daphne Du Maurier. She too lost her sight sometime before her death and was really lost without her books.
She always encouraged me to write my own stories and never made me feel like I should pursue a more "sensible" career. One of her dreams was to see a book of mine in print. Although she didn't make it that far, she did live long enough to hear that I'd signed a contract for the publication of my first novel. So I guess in a way, her dream came true - and her lifelong encouragement of me has helped me realize my own dreams.
