Valentine's Day ushers in moods of rejoicing and hope, when, briefly, people can forget our political, global and personal woes, and remember the joys of love and friendship.
When I moved from New Zealand to Australia in 1986, I found myself in the company of a group who dressed up and recreated medieval times. Romance and courtly behavior were high on their agenda. As well as the feasting and jousting, roses and verses were normal courtship aids. How impressed I was!
I am happy to tell you I found my own romance here, and have never left this magnificent country.
I wrote the first draft of VALENTINE MASQUERADE a long time ago. Recently I found the old manuscript. I was about to burn it, but started reading and became engrossed in the story. After a rewrite, it was accepted by Sweet Cravings Publishers in America.
I have been a writer for several decades, but only lately have I turned to writing romance, including all the ups and downs of understanding and loving another human being. My dogs also feature in each book, bringing their own special kind of love to each story.
As a special gift to you for Valentine's Day, my publisher has reduced the ebook price of VALENTINE MASQUERADE to only 99 cents on their website.
I hope you will grab a copy and share the journey of my lovers and the beautiful dog on the cover.
