I’m Not the Girl Everyone Thought I Should Be

By

By Elizabeth Otto I am unorganized. Flighty. Forgetful. Moody. I procrastinate. I’m an introvert, and at times, become nearly manic in my need to create. Not necessarily such good traits, huh? Trust me; these lovely characteristics are things I’ve struggled with most of my life. Especially when it came time to embark on a career and you know, be an adult. I was always a good … [Read more...]

What’s In a Number?

By

By Frances Fowlkes In my debut novel, The Duke’s Obsession, my heroine uses a combination of mathematics and numerology to calm herself and bring a sense of order to her chaotic world.

By Susan Meier My husband and I are opposites. When we got together, no one was more surprised than we were. My father used to say that it took opposites to make a good marriage. People who could counteract each other…or balance each other. My husband and I certainly fit the bill!

How to Communicate with Your Stylist to Get the Look You Want

By
