Wiser. Yeah, let's go with wiser. Makes me feel better anyway. At least until someone tosses out snarky stuff about old crones and all that rot. 'Course then we can beat'em with our sticks. Hehehe.:-D Not old. Wiser. Yeah, let’s go with wiser. Makes me feel better anyway.

It's hard to get all worked up over the latest brouhaha when it feels like (or frankly blatantly is) a rehash of 37 previous brouhahas from years past. This doesn't mean we're getting old does it? Perish the thought! At the end of the day I just need to remind myself that I like books. I like talking about books. And that's really why I'm involved in the online romance fandom. Sometimes you just need to distill it down to the essence to get your focus back ;) Hmmmm, this post could also possibly explain the dire lack of “opinion pieces” on my own blog.

I'd love to know more about her now. I began to love her books in the 1970's, when my roommate brought her books to college. Without doubt my favorite is A Promising Affair. Have parts of it memorized, I'd bet. I'm trying to remember which one had a veterinarian who shyly accuses the girl that he had no idea she cared for him because she spent more time with the animals than with him. I think (but am not sure if) it this was one of the cruise ship books. Thanks so much for hunting Glenna Finley down, everyone! I’d love to know more about her now.

I loved her writing style. I hunted down Mrs. Witte using the internet and was able to talk to her a couple of years ago. She is an awe-inspiring person, but wasn't interested in writing an autobiography. Given her wonderful novels, I would dearly love to add her autobiography to my collection of her books. She was just as delightful to talk to on the phone as you would imagine she would be. I have a letter from her I've filed away as well. I didn't get a lot of information from her and didn't hear from her last year when I sent out a card. I'm hoping she's in good health, but it's very hard to find any information on her.
