TO LOVE A HERO:  Would her love cost him everything he values? A sizzling romance full of intrigues and suspense. http://tinyurl.com/kl9pwlw

In a previous life, I was the director of an environmental laboratory. Day after day, I supervised a staff of chemists who performed analytical tests. I wrote proposals and competed for government contracts—a boring predictable life.

Suddenly everything changed when my boss asked me to look into the DOD section for international projects. Not one to refuse a challenge, I wrote a winning proposal and our company was awarded a contract to refurbish a military laboratory in Belarus. To be honest, I almost collapsed when the boss ordered, “Now you need to go to Belarus and work on this refurbishment.”

The Internet didn’t abound in information about Belarus, a former USSR country located South of Russia, East of Poland, and North of Ukraine. After learning a little bit about the food, I decided to play it safe and take my own supply of water and nonperishable food: crackers, BabyBel gouda cheese, and green apples previously washed and individually wrapped in plastic bags and of course a dozen bottles of water. At the time, it wasn’t forbidden to carry liquid on the plane.

My first trip to Minsk, capital of Belarus, occurred at the end of October 1994. Our delegation included the DOD contract manager and his interpreter, two government auditors, my lab manager, our computer specialist and me.

My initial impressions are related through the heroine’s voice: cold weather, gray skies, and cigarette smell everywhere. The curious looks of the local people made me feel as if I was wearing the wrong clothes. Of course I didn’t have a chapka (fur round hat). I remedied the problem by buying a cute mink chapka at the Minsk Big Bazaar.

Between May and October there is no central heating in Belarus. On my first night at the hotel, I literally froze in the drafty room. The next day, our delegation bought several electric heaters. During our meetings, I continuously asked for a hot cup of tea. Of course I was often offered vodka instead.

Many of my special stories are related in my book, TO LOVE A HERO, that has been released at Amazon.com  http://tinyurl.com/kl9pwlw

My fall on the broken escalator of the airport is included. I was rescued by my lab manager while my heroine, Dr. Cecile Lornier (the smart woman) fell into the arms of a hero to die for, the handsome Major General of Belarus, Sergei Fedorin, who stole her heart with his penetrating blue gaze.

My story, TO LOVE A HERO, highlights the hospitality and warmth of the gorgeous and gallant Belarusian officers who sing and toast and make a woman feel like a goddess. I had a lot of fun writing this book and I hope you will discover a new country and interesting civilization while reading TO LOVE A HERO.

I am currently finishing a sequel to Christmas Babies called Valentine Babies to be published in time for Valentine’s Day.

An international sizzling romance and a romantic suspense set in France should follow in Winter.

And then… I don’t know. I’ll write what my muse suggests.
Maybe a novel set in Italy– already started.
Or maybe a sequel to Neighbors and More, called Neighbors and Lovers — already started too.

Stay tuned for stories that simmer with emotion or sizzle with passion.

I hope 2013 will bring you health, happiness and prosperity.
