Happily-ever-after is my drug of choice. Not that I won’t read or watch a sad story now and then, but I crave happy endings. I love Jane Austen, Cinderella stories, and 1930’s screwball comedies. Think AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER or WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING.
I want heroes and heroines who deserve a happy ending together. I don’t want any heroines who are too stupid to live. The hero can be a bit of a jerk – Think Darcy in the beginning – but not a total jerk – Think Wickham or Willoughby.
What you will find in my stories:
1. Sweet quirky romance
2. Very little swearing. There may be an occasional hell or damn, maybe even a b*tch, but there will be no Lord’s name in vain and no f-bombs.
3. No explicit sex scenes. Characters might discuss sex, but any love scenes are definitely off screen. Think AFRICAN QUEEN.
4. No vampires. At least, not yet.

Beverly,
Having read several of your unfinished works in the past, I’m really looking forward to reading more soon… so, hurry up and get them posted! You are a great writer, and I’m a *fan*!
So glad you won’t be having any vampires. I did read the books, but i think its stupid how they sparkle. You can tell those books were written for 14 year old girls.
thanks so much for stopping by and liking my posts! it’s much appreciated and rather thrilling for a new blogger just to know people actually enjoy reading what i have to say 😉 you have a great blog, and i look forward to hearing more!
Hi Beverly,
It looks like we’re birds of a feather. I love romance novels and recently started my blog on the subject just to keep myself disciplined in my writing schedule! I stumbled upon your site when I was looking for blogs on the subject and I’m really glad I did. Your novel “Baby Comes First” sounds wonderful – love the title, and love the tagline! And the synopsis tells me I’ll have good clean fun reading it.
So I had to sign up immediately – got to keep up!
Thanks for the kind words, and best wishes for your writing.
Thank you for your visit to my site. It was much appreciated…
Hi Beverly! Thanks so much for liking my post! Can’t wait to read through your blog. I’m a happy endings addict and a suck for romance too!
I am so excited to see your writing in print! And I look forward to reading them as I pull my book-worm-head out of studying autonomy!! You go, girl!

Hi Beverly,
just got done reading “If a Fairy Falls in Love” and I fell in love. It is a great easy read and the characters were well rounded, fun, the plot well developed and Margaret was endearingly quirky. I hope we see more of her?? 🙂
Not all authors can write well rounded characters with a satisfying conclusion as a short story but you definitely have AND you made me laugh! Of course I was reading on my Kindle so I would be quiet while everyone was sleeping but I couldn’t help myself and laughed out loud then quietly snickered until the end where your lovely ending made me smile. A satisfying ending!! Can’t wait to read more and I ditto one of the other repliers….I’m a fan!
Thanks. I tend to read on my Kindle when everyone else is asleep, too. It’s a bad habit that makes me stay up too late — but I love stories. The heroine of my current WIP is a rabid reader, too. It’s the sequel to Corporate Husband and I hope it is finished soon. Thanks again for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it.
