Why Historical Romance Has Always Felt Like Home to Me
I’ve loved historical romance for as long as I can remember, though I didn’t always have a name for it.
When I was a girl in the 1960s, my grandparents would sit with us and tell stories—not polished stories, not sentimental ones, but real ones. Stories about their childhoods, their parents, and even their grandparents. They spoke of people I would never meet, yet somehow knew.

question:
Don't wait for a muse. Work your ass off. Use discipline as a tool and sharpen it daily. Inspiration isn't as important as dedication.
We all love it when we sit at a keyboard and words flow. But, honestly, if it was that easy, it wouldn't be special See Full Answer |

quote
“There are moments that define a person's whole life. Moments in which everything they are and everything they may possibly become balance on a single decision. Life and death, hope and despair, victory and failure teeter precariously on the decision made at that moment. These are moments ungoverned by happenstance, untroubled by luck. These are the moments in which a person earns the right to live, or not.”

“I’m not sure I could trust a man who would bypass an Oreo in favor of vanilla wafers. It’s a fundamental character flaw, possibly a sign of true evil.”

“We are all the children of Rome, without knowing it. Our months are called after Roman emperors or gods, our summer is July and August, named after Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar. When you people scream fascist at us, you are referring to the rods of authority called fasces by the Romans. The idea of law written down and to be observed equally comes to us from the Romans, and our alphabet comes to us exactly from the Roman. From plumbing to the idea that surrounding someone in battle gives victory, Rome gave them to us. Rome is our common, civilized roots, so deep that many of us in the West do not even realize it unless we are educated to it. Rome is our intellectual father, and we have been living off its remnants for two thousand years.”
