I think it was Hilary Mantel who said that she wrote the books she wanted to read, and that has always seemed to me sound advice. Of course as a writer you want others to read and enjoy what you've written, but you have to start by writing only for yourself and from the heart. Good luck. (less)

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, which really stood out for me as a different take on the period, even without the murder mystery. (less)

“A man who is born to be hanged can never be drowned.”
Marguerite Kaye, The Soldier's Rebel Lover

“You're warning me off. There's no need, I assure you. At this moment in time, my only ambition is to get myself through the day ---" He broke off, realising too late what he'd admitted, remembering, suddenly, why he had kissed her in the first place. And now he'd given her the perfect opening to start again.
But to his surprise, her expression softened. "Yes," she said. "That is how I have felt since --- since." She blinked rapidly, and forced a smile. "It is a good thing, this -- this---between us, because now I know that I am recovering myself...”
Marguerite Kaye, The Soldier's Dark Secret

“There were times when he felt as if he were being literally torn in two. Times when he raged at the injustice of what was happening to him, times when he was overwhelmed with guilt. There was no right and wrong anymore, which had been one of clear-cut lines for so long, was now so blurred that he was careening around like a compass struggling to find true north.”
Marguerite Kaye, The Soldier's Dark Secret

Wow, I didn't even know that Walmart still stocked Harlequin Historicals. So wierd sometimes, hearing that someone so far away has bought my book, I can never get used to it. So thank you, and I really hope you enjoy it.
