About the author

Brigette Manie

<p>Hi, everyone. &nbsp;Books and I became buddies in my pre-teen years. &nbsp;The television gave up the ghost and my sister and I found another form of entertainment--reading. &nbsp;Back then I read detective novels. &nbsp;I think I&#39;ve read the entire series of The Bobsey Twins, Nancy Drew, and The Hardy Boys.</p><p>I discovered romance in my early teens and got hooked on everything I could find from Mills and Boon and Harlequin. &nbsp;Christ came knocking and I gave up romance for a while (because of the heat factor in what I used to read--smile). &nbsp;But in my stay-at-home-mom years, I&#39;d escape to the library to keep my sanity. &nbsp;What section did I end up in? &nbsp;You got it--romance. &nbsp;Well, I kept skipping pages to stay righteous (smile) and went home complaining to my husband that I couldn&#39;t enjoy my romances like I used to because I couldn&#39;t read the whole novel anymore. &nbsp;Now, don&#39;t get me wrong, I love intimacy--those burning&nbsp;looks, fiery kisses, and inferno-hot embraces between heroes and heroines (they&#39;re in my own novels). &nbsp;And I also love intimacy in marriage that&#39;s skillfully (leaving much to readers&#39; imaginations) yet romantically described.&nbsp;</p><p>One day, my hubby&nbsp;got tired of my complaints and told me to write my own romance; so, I did.&nbsp;Twenty-five plus novels later, here I am a romance writer and loving it.</p><p>Outside of writing, I love to read (crazy about books), walk, travel, and spend time with my four kids and the amazing man God gave me--my husband.</p><p>I adore emailing back and forth with readers and have met some great people who are as passionate about romance as I am. &nbsp;I think that&#39;s the greatest part of this author business, connecting with those who love love (smile). I&#39;d love to talk to you. &nbsp;Please connect with&nbsp;me via my website (www.brigettemanie.com) or through any of the following links:</p><p>http://www.brigettemanie.com/contact-us-newsletter-sign-up/</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/brigette.manie.author?ref=stream</p><p>https://twitter.com/BrigetteManie</p><p>https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6562932.Brigette_Manie</p><p>Blessings!</p><p></p><p>Brigette Manie</p>
