Happy Reading!

In case you haven't noticed, I love to read. I mean, love, real love. When I pick up a book, I feel whole. I love getting lost in a story, and feeling what the characters are feeling. Currently, I'm re-reading all of the books by  one of my favorite authors, Julia Quinn. Check her out, she's phenomenal. I like her books because I really feel her characters. Oh, and she writes so well that I've actually burst out laughing, and once or twice actually cried. I highly recommend her. Anyway, I digress. I am currently re-reading all of her books, every single one. What's nice about this is that I get to re-live why I fell in love with this author and her books to begin with. She's SO great, and if I ever get the chance to meet her in person, I'd probably act like a twelve year old meeting a Backstreet Boy. Seriously.

Some of my other favorite authors are Charlaine Harris, Nora Roberts, Julie Garwood, and Catherine Coulter. I guess it's safe to say that I love chic lit. I love romance. I love love. I mean...seriously LOVE , love. Of course in all this reading, I also love to write. I'm definitely not up to par with the greats from above, but I've been fortunate to have some literary sense. Currently I'm working on my own little story. No, there's no expectations of publishing, but I enjoy seeing my dreams show up on my computer screen. It's fascinating to watch. It hurts for me to write, though. I'm sure other writers will understand what I mean when I say that when I'm writing, I'm laying my soul out there for people to see. In some cases, walking around naked would be less revealing. My heart is poured out as my fingers fly across the keyboard. It's scary. I mean, really, really scary. I have a wonderful support group, though. You've heard me mention my "Big Sis", well there's also Author, Rene' Morris, my hubby "B", my "Lil Sis", my friends "L" and "K". I'm so very fortunate.

With all this being said, and pardon my rambling I struggled to figure out what the heck I wanted to talk about tonight, I'd like to plug my friend, Christian Young Adult/Tween Author, Rene' Morris. Please check her out. She's FABULOUS. Her characters are real, fun, and they really learn (and teach) lessons. Rene' and I met many, many years ago and have remained friends ever since. She's a beautiful, fun person who has the innate ability to create. Whether it's in her stories, her candle making business, her web designs, or her family, she's simply amazing. I'm happy to say that she's someone I admire and look up to. If ever I was inspired, it was because of Rene'.
