Woody Allen said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." I'm pretty sure he is laughing his head off right now knowing I'm preparing to release my first historical, (not hysterical) romance book. I have lots of material having been married for over 36 years to a man who not only makes me laugh, but also helps me love better. Our children bring us so much joy and have multiplied that joy a hundredfold by blessing us with 10 grandchildren whom we are fortunate enough to have live within a few miles of our home.
I've been a reader almost as long as I can remember. I remember vividly my first trip to the Bookmobile when I was about eight years old, the memory of the sunbeams filtering through the window of the bus; the smell of books and wide-eyed wonder. The first books I checked out were 'The Secret Garden' and 'The Little Princess', and I've never looked back. Through books I've lived in other countries, had countless romantic adventures, been wealthy beyond belief and been the most beautiful woman who ever walked this planet.
The desire to write has been with me almost as long but it wasn't until a few years ago that I actually got the courage to make an honest attempt of putting words to paper. It has been exciting, frustrating, funny, tiring and every other emotion imaginable...and I believe worth it.
I hope you find the humor, mystery, exploits and romance between my characters to be believable and engaging....enough that you will want to keep reading and sharing what you feel and experience with me. That's all I could possibly ask.
Happy Reading.....Clarisse
