The meaning of homemade love

March 22, 2021 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

Staying safe: Last year at the start of the pandemic, I remember hurrying to the grocery to "stock up." Lord knows what I needed, or thought I needed: cans of soup, cough medicine, hand sanitizer, Gatorade (in case we got COVID-19, as if that would have helped).

What, Why, How: Sadira Stone

March 8, 2021 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

Sadira Stone Romance Author

What: I write steamy contemporary romance set in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. What does steamy mean? In my case, it means following one couple through the twists and turns of falling in love, including the juicy bedroom bits—not that my couples restrict themselves to bedrooms. Doug and Laurel found bliss in the woods; Elmer and Margot steamed up the cab of his ancient pickup; Clara and Nick had … [Read more...]
