Caroline Taylor grew up in the mountain west and traveled widely before enjoying a brief stint in the Foreign Service. Her adventures along the way included being abandoned by her father in a foreign country when she was a teenager, an adventure that came awfully close to stories she later read in The Mosquito Coast and The Poisonwood Bible. While living abroad, she climbed two active volcanoes in two different countries; nearly succumbed to heat stroke on a hike through the Negev Desert; sang folk songs in a bar for American oil workers in Quito, Ecuador; and took her Volkswagen beetle onto a raft across the Pastaza River during a trip to the Amazon. Having crossed the Equator, she is now entitled to keep both elbows on the table.

Stop the Presses!

Not the news presses, but the book publishers who keep spewing out novels with the same plot. Full disclosure here: I read romance fiction, mostly the contemporary kind, although historical romances do have that added dimension of describing the fascinating events, customs, and dress of bygone days. My problem is that I have all too often purchased a romance and discovered it has the exact same pl Read more of this blog post »
