Thank you, Karen, it really is a lovely tribute. I cried yesterday and I’ve cried again today. Like so many other readers, Julie Garwood was a foundational author to me. It’s nice to know she was a kind and happy lady who enjoyed connecting with her readers. My sincere condolences to her family and all who will miss her.
That's sad news to read. May she rest in peace. Just last weekend I was fixing up my shelves of older romance novels and her books are a part of the collection my godmother left me. The Wedding, The Prize and The Secret (classics). I also have The Ideal Man, Sweet Talk, and Hotshot (modern).
