As we’re about to step into 2024, the new year causes us to think about resolutions and goals. I met my writing goals for the year, but on the reading front, I’m not sure I met my goals. Mainly because I didn’t do a very good job of tracking what…

Last month I wrote about mothers in romance, so this month I have to show the fathers some love. The first Father’s Day in the United States was celebrated on June 19, 1910, but it wasn’t until 1972 that the day became a nationwide holiday. With Father’s Day arriving on…
