Over the forty-plus years I’ve been reading romance, I’ve not been a fan of recent US history – bad American that I am. Maybe I was just reading the wrong book or the wrong author. Because Carrie Lofty has now made a mini-fan out of me – at least for the WWII era. Joe and [...]

The best part about writing a historical romance set in WWII is that I got to write a happy ending. A lot of books set during the war are women’s, historical, or literary fiction, where a happy ending isn’t a priority. For His Very Own Girl, though? It was very much a priority!

Sandy M’s review of His Very Own Girl by Carrie Lofty Historical Romance ebook published by Pocket Star 4 Sep 12 I’m very glad this book is as good as it is. I was given a PDF for my Kobo, but from the very beginning, for some reason, I had problems every other page with [...]

Alpha is not all in a body type. Cool, now that we’ve all got that down, you can buy Inside Bet and we’ll all be good, yes? Phssh. We all know it’s not nearly that easy.

I had a chance to tell Carrie Lofty how much I thoroughly enjoyed Starlight, Book 2 in her Christie family series, when I met her at the RWA conference last month. It’s not every day a reader gets to chat face to face with an author about her book, so this was quite special for [...]

Not once does the reader – or the romance – get lost in the technicalities of factories, unions, and sabotage. All of that is very nicely [...]

Anyone who knows my writing process knows that I can’t write a word without listening to music. I create soundtracks for each of my books, sometimes cobbled together from whatever I like at the moment and sometimes crafted to evoke a certain mood.

Sandy M’s review of Starlight (The Christies, Book 3) by Carrie Lofty Historical Romance published by Pocket Books 26 Jun 12 This is my first Carrie Lofty book. And I loved it! Alex and Polly come alive the moment you meet them. Their relationship pulls no punches, and even when they’re at their worst, they’re [...]

Alicia Thomas’s review of Sundial by Carrie Lofty Time travel short story ebook published Dec 07  by Wild Rose Press Sundial is a short story, only 67 pages and is the first thing I’ve read from Wild Rose Press.
