Had a good meeting today with HeartLa (Baton Rouge chapter of Romance Writer's of America). The luncheon is almost here!

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
