Romance

Guest blogger  Eileen Troemel

Guest blogger  Eileen Troemel Hi!  When I introduce myself, I like to tell people I have a split personality because I write across three names. RJ Stone is my newest pen name and she’s writing (yes I’m referring to myself in the 3rd person – weird) children’s stories. Current release – Dragon of Frendur – a chapter book for 8 to 10 year olds which is about an ordinary village which stands out in absolutely no way – well until a dragon drops out of the sky and into their village square.  https://books2read.com/RJ-Dragon-of-Frendur Eileen Troemel is my name and I...

Some of the books had scenes that were red flags: abusive relationships, women not standing up for themselves, and blurred lines concerning consent. On top of that, I was tired of the submissive protagonist. A...

The Genesis of Amber

Continuing this series of guest blogs.  This is by the author of The Unveiling of Amber,  Viola Russell. The Genesis of Amber: From the time I could read, I wanted to be a writer. I’d written stories since I was probably eight-years-old, so I’ve had a writing career of fifty years.  As a kid, I never felt I was limited to one genre, and indeed, I dabbled in various genres.  As an adult, I’ve also never liked to limit myself; however, I find myself writing a great deal of historical fiction.  I admit I love research, but I sometimes venture...

Lockdown Dreams

I want to expand our BVS blog to include a wider variety of views and thoughts.  What better way to do that than open the forum to the talent of our authors?  It is with great pleasure I introduce Alice Renaud.......... Lockdown Dreams When my life was busy and full of work, friends, church, outings, etc., I sometimes thought, “How nice it would be to be at home, with nothing to do except relax, watch TV and read books.” Hmm… We have been in lockdown now since 20 March, and I realize I quite liked my busy life. I would...
