Interview with Maggie Robinson + Giveaway
Today we would like to welcome to Book Lovers Inc. Maggie Robinson who is here to celebrate the release of Mistress by Marriage, Book #3 in her Courtesan Court steamy historical romance series! (You can read my review of the novel here.)
Hi Maggie, welcome to Book Lovers Inc! Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Maggie: I’m a big homebody and live on a lake in Maine. We’ve got four grown kids, three grandchildren and one on the way! My family has been hugely supportive of letting me stay in my nightgown until late morning writing away. When I get out (and get dressed), I love to garden and sit on the dock to read. Of course, that’s hard to do during a Maine winter.
Stella: Describe a typical day of writing? Are you a planner or pantser?
Maggie:Oh, pantser, pantser, pantser. Am awful at planning. I …

Romance and Me: Military Romance
Today I’m here to tell you a secret. Last week I was in a crazy frenzy. You know the kind when all you can think about is how fantastic a story was and you keep thinking about it long after it finished.
Want to know what started it? I read a novel which opened my eyes and made me discover a whole new world of romance stories: the military romance subgenre!
And after my crazy enthusiasm for said novel I went on a Goodreads rampage and searched for hours and hours becoming more and more enthralled by all the wonderful novels and series I found in the genre! Who knew military romance existed? And that it was so mindblowingly great?
If you think the military romance subgenre can be swept under the “romantic suspense” category you are mistaken. This is so much more than that! Let me tell you why…
I have always loved novels and movies …
