I’m Barbara Edwards and I write paranormal romance. At least I do this year. In the past I’ve published historical romance and romantic suspense. I’m excited to be a member of Roses of Prose and picture myself as a rambling rose, all over the place with lots of scented flowers and a few thorns.
My personal interests are as varied. My husband and I love to travel, yet I am babying a garden and several antique roses at home. We participate in Civil War re-enactments with the most recent being The Battle of Manassass- the first in the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. The pictures are posted on my blog http://barbaraedwardscomments.worpress.com Next week we’ll be at a local event in Woodbury, CT. In the cracks between writing, I am knitting a sweater.
Always an avid reader, I don’t restrict myself to one genre, but I clearly remember what triggered my fascination with romance novels. I pulled a muscle in my back. For those of you who have suffered the same thing, I don’t need to describe it. For those of you lucky enough not to, it is indescribable. I was flat on my back and bored to tears when I asked my husband to go to the used book store. He returned with a shopping bag of books. I guess he told the clerk they were for a woman, since it was half Barbara Cartland books. Are you luck enough to remember them? It was my introduction to a new world.
Since then I’ve read thousands of romances from inspirational to erotica, and every genre in between. I have a hundred favorite authors and so many books my husband wants to empty the shelves and burn them some dark night.
The biggest accomplishment of my life is being a romance author.
It helps that I believe love is the most powerful force in the world. Love gives strength to face life’s problems. Love can overcome hate. Love warms the soul and lights the dark. Love creeps up and bites you on the butt when you least expect it.
So I’m working on Book Three in the Finding Rhodes End series and the hero and heroine already know there’s something special happening.

Lily Alban escapes a murderous stalker, but his vicious attack leaves her with the ability to see auras.

Together they must use their extraordinary gifts to catch Lily’s stalker before he attacks again, but revealing their secrets to one another could destroy their growing love or save them both.
“What makes you so important? Or is this another secret?”
Cole’s eyes darkened. “Lily. I’m pushing the line with you. Give me some slack.”
“I want answers, Cole.” She grabbed his arm as he turned and pulled him to a halt.
He gently, carefully drew her fierce grip into his grasp. His golden eyes heated as he lifted her hand to his lips. “I already told you, Lily. You’d have to mate with me to learn all my secrets.”
Urgent need raced from his lips to her center. His scorching gaze melted her from the inside out. All her bein
