Today, I welcome J. L. Regen to Five on Friday. She is sharing her first contemporary romance book. Be sure and check it out, and read the answers to her five questions!
A contemporary romance from the heart
Nothing in Margo Simmons’s life comes easy. She can’t claim the inheritance on a condo apartment her uncle has left to her until she is gainfully employed in a job for a year. She meets the man of her dreams but anguishes over a loving relationship because he is still emotionally tied to his deceased wife. With great difficulty, she becomes the guardian to a recently orphaned child she had been tutoring. Margo evolves from an insecure, newbie elementary teacher into a woman determined to fulfill the secret desires locked in her heart. My story speaks to anyone who has suffered a loss and had to start over.
J.L. Regen’s book was inspired by a real life story of lovers who join hearts against many odds. She lives in the New York metropolitan area, is a published photojournalist, has short suspense stories online, and has taught English as a Second Language to students around the globe. This is her first contemporary romance. She has also published three nonfiction books and is crafting a historical suspense set in World War II. Her photography is archived in the New York Historical Society. Her short stories have appeared in online mystery and suspense publications.

FIVE ON FRIDAY
Name three things that make you cry.
Children suffering from cancer. Children in war-torn countries. People who pollute the earth.
Ann: Those are certainly things that can make us all cry.
List a favorite quote
We have nothing to fear but fear itself—Winston Churchill
Ann: So True.
If you described yourself in one word, what would it be?
Determined
Ann: To be a writer, you have to be determined!
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
It would be Paris—the perfumes, the sights, the food, the language-magnificent.
Ann: Can’t argue with this choice. It’s also romantic!
What is the loveliest thing you’ve ever seen?
The birthday card that my husband sent to me today. Full of feeling.
Ann: Aw…that is so sweet. It really is the small things in life that make us happy.
