Here’s mine Rach Rach http://wp.me/pgklb-19w. Can you believe I’ve actually written a historical fiction? First the Western now this!! Thanks for the push to get out of my comfort zone, but ya know, I always gotta have a bit of romance 😀

We need your brand of romance, Carrie Ann! 😀 I’m so glad battles are a helpful way to stretch the writing muscles. 🙂

Hey Rachael, here’s mine, if you want to count it: https://cathleentownsend.com/2017/02/07/seeking-a-haven/. It uses the key word, or at least a form of it–adoration. It’s mostly a fantasy. My only fig leaf for historical is that it’s set in the 1980s. Your call. 🙂
