Guest Author Brenda Jackson and Giveaway!
Brenda Jackson: Persistent Writing From the time I first began reading romances, Harlequin Silhouette Desires were my favorite. It was small enough to toss in my purse and pull out for a good and relaxing read just about anywhere. Especially when I got a break during those busy management meetings at the well-known insurance company where I worked.
