While living overseas our family took one Thanksgiving break to tour London. Since I’m married to a WWII expert and enthusiast, of course we had to visit where PM Churchill and his staff kept the country running while the German’s pummeled the city. The simple, Spartan lifestyle they maintained is at once sobering and inspiring. […]

When I was writing A RENDEZVOUS TO REMEMBER, we lived in Belgium . I didn’t even have to close my eyes to see Jack and Esmee, my hero and heroine, meet on a cold winter night when he landed in her farm field. Jack was an RAF operative who sought shelter with Esmee, a Resistance […]

World War II Wednesday!
Welcome to a new part of my work–my World War II fiction. I’m honored to be able to write about this pivotal area in all of our histories, and grateful to those who sacrificed so much.

FlashBack Friday: Naval Aviation Observer Wings
This goes waaaay back, folks. Many of you have asked what exactly I did while I was in the Navy. Remember, it was in the last century and I was um, not as “seasoned.” I like that. Yes, I’m getting spicier as the years fly by! Anyhow, I dug up this report of when I […]

I’d make the NYT bestseller list within a few months, be on Oprah (dating myself, I know), be interviewed by Charlie Rose as I’d seen him interview Robert McKee about his book STORY. And the book signings…I’d walk into […]

Joyce Adams Counts and I caught up at RWA in Atlanta this […]
A Little Bit of This, A Little bit of That
Okay, my editor would slay the title for this post–tres cliche! But I promised to share my RWA 2013 experiences.

Romance Writers of America Atlanta GA 2013
Since 2000 I have attended RWA’s national conference whenever my life and our family’s Navy travels have allowed. The passage of time has never been more evident to me than this year, this day, this moment. Maybe it’s my impending empty nest in just over a year, or my, ahem, maturation process, but I realize […]
NAVY HOPE Chapter Twenty
Navy Hope By Geri Krotow Copyright © 2013 by Harlequin Books S.A. Chapter Twenty “To bring a soldier back from the brink of insanity, like we do with the newly returning vets, is one thing,” he began. “It’s rare that I get to see what kind of success I’ve had—the soldiers go through treatment with […]
