I've been married since 1993. We have a the most beautiful little boy born May 16, 2006 I have ever met who just happens to be severely autistic. He is the love of my life, my heart, and my soul forever. I have learned what love really is from this precious human; he has forever changed my life.
I love to garden and own many houseplants. I like to paint, read, and write my own stories.
I love to travel, trying to every place there is to see in my lifetime I guess =). Lived in Alaska for 4 years and is my favorite place in the world is New Hampshire where my family and I hike so much.
My favorite movie is (going to get flack for this) Titanic. My favorite show is "Lost."
I am open to ANYONE'S suggestions for new authors or books(I have made some good friends through this since I started and I am grateful :d). Email me ANYTIME, I would love to share opinions on the books I love and others I haven't had the opportunity to read yet. :-)
I don't have a lot of time because I am in college full-time now working on my bachelor's degree in social services, but in my spare-time it is consumed with my interests and my son.

Once again Ms. Howard transcends the romantic/suspense genre with her newest and IMO one of her best novels. This is an untouched and mostly avoided subject in this genre. The fact that the heroine suffers a great blow when her infant is abducted in Mexico and sold into a baby-ring. I have not read any other romance author breach this unspeakable crime that is such a problem! What I loved about this story was the fact that Milla, the heroine, did not come away 'unscathed' and did not whine and become weak for it. She became fierce and determined and so inspiring. I wouldn't label this particular story 'romantic/suspense' in the fact that it didn't have too much suspense, it… Read more

It is and I am saddened. I am being generous when I give this one 2 stars, because it deserves one, but in seeing how it was well written and the only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that the characters were unlikeable and the storyline was bland, I couldn't bring myself to completely trash it. I am a HUGE Linda Howard fan so you see why I am surprised and reluctant to toss this one, even if it's her worst IMO. The brutish 'hero', if you want to actually call him that, is so overpowering that I felt smothered by his presence in the book, never-mind the heroine. He was completely irrational and borderline stalker/nutcase. He had nothing worth liking and I couldn't fathom… Read more

I do NOT like to knock a Howard because she is one of my FAVORITE authors, but this heroine was way over the top in the 'stupid department.' I realize this was written in the 1980's when the heroine was expected to be shy and reserved and virginial, yet strong and independent, but she came out as stupid (wince...I am so sorry Ms Howard) and very, very unbelievably ignorant of men and the world in general. She gave off this 'kill 'em all' attitude that just was nausiating to me. A 29 year old spinster extrordinaire with a knack for letting the readers and the hero listen to her moronic and irritating dribble about her uptight and weird Aunt Ardith's rules of conduct got to be too much… Read more
