Hi, Ju-

Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Each RWA chapter contest final is just exciting as the first. This latest one came for my new story, Royal Prince, Reluctant Prince, which I wrote as a result of The Harlequin Presents Writing Competition 2009. Hopefully, we'll all see success in the near future.

Regards, Madeline

Favorite Quotations

What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. Kahlil Gilbran

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love. Washington Irving

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender... Sir Winston Spencer-Churchill
