   Contemporary romance literature spans an expansive landscape. Within it are various subgenres of romance literature, but contemporary romance stands out as being vivid and life-affirming for readers today and an eclectic tapestry woven with current experiences, cultural shifts, and relatable narratives. Unlike historical or fantasy romances, which take readers back in time or provide magical realms, it captures contemporary society dynamics while discussing issues relevant to 21st-century audiences while exploring relationships complex enough to involve themes like self-discovery, personal growth, or love in an ever-evolving world. Contemporary romance stands apart from its counterparts because of its modern setting and emphasis on realism. Characters in contemporary romance depict vulnerabilities and strengths reflective of real-life experiences, often encountering dilemmas that mirror real-world scenarios ranging from career pressures and personal aspirations to bala...

A cozy mystery like no other. The characters and what they’ve had to learn throughout the book was well thought out and the story was well written.  Angie is distraught when she finds Mrs. B’s room all disheveled. When the police won’t help Angie turns to the one person she can remember has a connection to the missing woman.  Penny isn’t happy to be dragged around and disrespected after what just happened with work. Will Angie alienate Penny and lose the only help she has while the clock keeps ticking after Frieda’s abduction? 

Second chance romances are one of the most beloved tropes in romance literature, offering audiences an insight into all things love, forgiveness, and personal growth - and offering nostalgic thrills of hope! Second chance romances often depict characters who once loved each other but now find themselves no longer together due to a set of circumstances (misunderstandings, life changes, or the passing of time) but readers become immersed in an intimate exploration of what it means to love and lose only to rediscover that flame again later. Second chance romances' appeal can be traced to various elements. First and foremost, these stories tap into our collective fantasy of redemption - allowing characters to revisit past errors and emerge stronger, wiser, and better attuned to themselves and their desires. This theme encourages readers to reflect upon themselves and consider who and what may have passed by unnoticed in their lives, perhaps forgotten or overlooked altogether. Furthermo...

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all. Today we are going to meet a lovely person in my life, Nicole Orr. This woman is not only a writer, but a force to be reckoned with. Let's jump on in and get to know her a little better. Hey Nicole, what do you write? A while back, I got my feet wet in the publishing world by having more than 18 nonfiction children’s books released through the Purple Toad Publishing House, but alas, the topics, length, pictures and deadlines were all chosen for me. I’ve been a writer for several online blogs too, including pop culture and travel blogs. My true passion, however, is fiction. One of my favorite quotes of all time is Victor Hugo’s, “A writer is a world trapped inside a person.” I’ve been writing stories since I was in my early teens, but it really took off when I discovered the worldwide writing event National Novel Writing Month where you write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. While I have participated in that 18 times, I ...
