Lady Rivendale's Connections Box Set, Books 1 to 3: Three Full-Length Historical Romance Novels | Three love stories bound by honor, tangled in intrigue, and charged with danger
To find characters to illustrate my first family saga, I cut out models from the Sears catalogue. I was in fourth grade, but it was a start. In seventh grade I wrote a melodrama about two orphan sisters, one of whom was pregnant. There was also a story about a runaway girl with the unlikely name of Strawberry and one about mistaken identities and an evil blind date. My supportive, but vaguely concerned parents, sighed with relief when I announced I was going to write children's books. They bought me an electric typewriter and crossed their fingers, but somehow PASSION'S BRIDE came out. No one was really surprised. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry and some notion that I would do marine research. Years of competitive swimming didn't help me anticipate seasickness. A career change seemed in order. I began working with adolescents and families, first as a childcare worker and later, after graduating from West Virginia University with a master's degree in counseling, as a therapist. I am currently the executive director of a child caring/mental health agency and find my work and my writing often compliment each other. One grounds me in reality and the other offers a break from it.
I really liked this series because the characters, stories,and relationship between the main couples. This is my first reading by Jo Goodman and it will not be my last. The women have endurance that is tested throughout, and the gentlemen don't treat them with kid gloves, but encouragement.
Sit Down, put your feet up and be ready to be entertained!
