**I ONLY RATE BOOKS I REALLY ENJOYED**.

Before I began writing I spent time as a dock worker, a reader for the blind, a criminal prosecutor, and I taught American History on the college level for five years. My last job was running an 8-bedroom bed and breakfast, a subject I will never write about...

Brief update about KATHRYN & ARES

I regret that I had to cancel my next two books, KATHRYN and ARES. Eleven days ago I had the sort of call a person never wants to get. My sister-in-law called to tell me that my mom had gone to the emergency room after her recent surgery and was immediately sent to the hospital […]

Hi Jessie: I've had many, many requests for Fowler's story. He is a very insistent character who has popped up over and over again. So I finally married him off, lol, and he will have his own book.

Quotes by Minerva Spencer  (?)

“I'm sorry, Hugh. I don't know what came over me."
Hugh pulled her close and curled his body around hers. "I came over you, darling.”
Minerva Spencer, Barbarous

“I love you so much, Hyacinth,” he whispered. “Please don’t break my heart, darling.” He kissed the delicate pink shell of her ear. “Not when you have just put it back together again.”
Minerva Spencer, Hyacinth

“She snorted but didn’t pull away. “Second, when I think of life without you, I—well, let me just say it does not just make me unhappy—it makes me miserable and hopeless. Do you know how rare it is for two people to get on as we do? Or at least it is rare in my experience. Never before have I wanted to spend both my nights and days with somebody.”
Minerva Spencer, Hyacinth

Sarah (is clearing her shelves) Hi Minerva, It Started With a Scandal is pretty good, 3-4 stars, but I've had to put it slightly to the side to deal with all the BR I'm participating in. I hope to get back to it this week.
