While growing up, Louise Bergin was the girl with her head buried in a book. She wanted to live the adventures she found between the covers—especially the promise of happily ever after at the end. In college, she learned to fence in case some day she wrote a historical novel. She also studied accounting as her back-up career. When her hero appeared, he was an Air Force officer, with whom she had three children and the life she’d longed for. She finds the time to write because the military movers taught her that you really only have to clean your house once every three years.

Once Upon a Wardrobe

After you first read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, did you ever check the back of a closet in the faint hope of finding Narnia? I know I looked. In this story when college student Megs Devonshire finds her eight-year-old brother sitting in his wardrobe, she asks him why, and he tells her he is looking for Narnia.

This book, Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan, is set in 19

I very much enjoyed reading this novella set in a fantasy world. I liked how the author had a different take on the standard bodyguard trope by making the hero the Speaker for the heroine. It was a great way to keep them together as they fell in love ...more

Louise’s Quotes

“A gentleman can hardly continue to sit,' he explained, in his serenest and most level voice, 'when he asks a very remarkable young lady to do him the honor of marrying him. And - 'he somehow contrived to grin at me wickedly, 'I usually get what I want, Miss Grahame,' he added, and pitched over in a tangled heap on the floor.”
― Elizabeth Marie Pope, The Sherwood Ring

“How did you ever happen to remember that I might be hungry? But of course you would. Will you mind very much if I run myself into serious difficulties now and again after we are married, just for the pleasure of seeing you rise to the occasion?”

“Put him in there and chain him up," he ordered curtly. "Yes, that chain, you fool - do you see any other chain in that cell? Peaceable Sherwood? I'm tired of hearing about Peaceable Sherwood! Turn him loose in the cell for the night. - Which one of you said 'Where'll he be by morning?' Where does he look like he's going to be by morning, I ask you - a hundred and fifty miles away?"
I was, to be exact, only seven and a half miles away by morning...”
