What Remains

 This week, bestselling romance author Julie Garwood passed away. While her family has the memories and love, we —her fans— have her books. And I love her books, especially her historical romance novels. 

Her books have a few spots on my keeper shelf with broken spines, crinkled covers, and yellowing pages. From The Bride to Ransom, I read her books over and over, always laughing out loud and turning each page enjoying each word. And when I read the last word and close the book, I feel happy, with a smile on my face, having had a great, entertaining time even though I know the stories inside and out. 


As an author, those feelings are all we can leave our readers. We yearn for nothing more than to entertain, and help you escape. We’re no different than rock stars or movie stars, but we authors are most likely introverts. 


Farewell, Julie Garwood. Thank you for sharing your talent and stories. 


To all the other authors out there tapping away with their works, I say thank you. Please keep turning them out.
