In fact, after watching the movie Titanic she was so moved by the passion of the love story that she cried for over twenty minutes in the cinema much to her chagrin. Throughout her teenage years and adult life her favourite pastime has always been reading romance novels and thus she is quite enamoured with the typical romance story and the happily-ever-after fairy tale wedding. Having experienced her own fairy tale ‘ending’ six years ago she has come to realize that where the typical romance novels end is really the beginning of true passion and love. After watching the demise of many marriages and the rapid rise of divorce she is now on a mission to redefine true marriage, passion and romance with her Passionately Married series of books. It is her hope that every reader will see past the romantic wedding and experience the real joys of marriage. Even if a marriage is on the brink of separation she believes that it can be saved one book at a time. After spending ten years in the teaching profession, she has finally decided to stop ignoring the call to write. Not So Easily Broken is her first fiction novel and is also the first book in the Marriage Spice Collection. She resides on the tropical island of Barbados with her husband and daughter.
