Happy birthday, Simon Le Bon!!!
Fun fact - my vampire romance, Forever Yours, blossomed from a short story inspired by the video Nightboat.
Hope everyone has a truly spooky Halloween!

Had a good meeting today with HeartLa (Baton Rouge chapter of Romance Writer's of America).
The luncheon is almost here! November 6th at The Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge ... keynote speaker - Sherrilyn Kenyon. Spots are still available. Be there or be square!
We also did a writing exercise, and I'd like to share my results ...
Matt's heart became lodged in his throat as he stared out of the plane's open door. The chute on his back suddenly weighed as much as an elephant. He swallowed down the lump of fear and resigned himself to the fact that he was going to jump out into open space ... and soon. He hoped he landed in the designated field in Austin, Texas where his bride waited at the altar. Yes - he knew it was customary for the groom to wait, but she was afraid of heights. Not to mention that he'd lost a bet at his bachelor party while getting drunk. Matt kicked at the white wedding dress covering his legs, praying that the bottom wouldn't fly up over his head when he was falling. He hoped his bride looked better in a tux than he did in the wedding dress. As he jumped, he thought 'My students better not post any of these photos on facebook, either!'

Convicted of Love
I was flipping through some stuff the other day and came across the historical romance I wrote, Convicted of Love. It was nice to see the review I received for the book from Ash Arceneaux of Rite of Romance ... While the review is old, it's still nice to reflect on ...
“…absolutely charming. It sparkles with emotion and wit. The story and the characters are all vibrant with life… The dialogue is a rare treat for a historical. It snapped between the characters, sizzling and landing with perfect aim. I will
definitely be looking for more work by Josephine Templeton.” ~~Reviewed by Ash Arceneaux of Rite of Romance
