How lovely to hear from you, and that one of my novels is part of a book club. Indeed, I have participated in Book Club discussions in the past. It has been a while, and always at local libraries and book stores. Not sure where you are located, so I suppose my participation would depend upon that or if some sort of online connection is available. I was about to say Skype but guess everything is Zoom these days. LOL!

Feel free to contact me via my email, if that is better. Which book, by the way?

Thanks so much! Sharon

Miniature Portraits: Another Alternative

A while back I posted a blog on the history of silhouettes, or shadow portraits. As I noted in that post, while some silhouettes were proportional or close to the actual size of the person whose profile was being traced, as an artistic form with affordability a major contributing factor, most silhouettes were small. Many were so tiny they could be placed into jewelry.

Quotes by Sharon Lathan  (?)

“Miss Bennet, I shall be completely blunt and honest and beg your pardon if I cross a line in some manner; however, I sense you are requesting a candid response.” He paused, awaiting her favour until she nodded. “I feel drawn to you in a way I do not totally understand, yet there it is. I have never felt so inclined towards another. What this connection bodes for the future, I do not know. You are pretty, intelligent, honest, proper, and many other fine qualities I believe I could list without hesitation. I think it entirely probable you and I would be perfect for each other. It is my intention to discover if this is possible. I do not wish to trifle with your emotions, nor do I wish to have my own sensibilities manipulated; therefore, if you cannot imagine even the remotest chance of returning affection, tell me now and I shall abide by your pleasure. On the other hand, if you sense, even vaguely, a returned interest in me, then let us proceed with willing minds and hearts.”
Sharon Lathan, Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley

“I always sleep well, dearest, except for when your hot body smothers me completely!"

Darcy grinned. "Forgive me. Even sub- consciously I must be near you. I have no control over the matter. Tea and a scone?"

"Yes, please." She sat, tucking her feet under her. "No need to apologize, William. I simply elbow you hard and you roll away, temporarily at least. Come winter you can re- pay the treatment when I slip my frozen feet between your thighs.”
Sharon Lathan, Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley

“To be essential to another human being, to be vulnerable, to have another assign themselves generously and selflessly is the ultimate expression of true love, and they understood how lucky they were.”
Sharon Lathan, Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

“The immensity of the universe with the vastness of space and uncountable heavenly bodies is so outside our control and power. What is man compared to such awesome magnificence? It is a humbling experience to note one’s insignificance.”
Sharon Lathan, Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

“To be essential to another human being, to be vulnerable, to have another assign themselves generously and selflessly is the ultimate expression of true love, and they understood how lucky they were.”
Sharon Lathan, Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version
