Description
What in the world is a retired Navy chaplain's daughter doing writing scorching hot historical romances and paranormal graphic novels? Renee Bernard is applying a great education from traveling all over the world to story telling and doing her best to keep her father proud. Truthfully, her father is her number one fan, even though he has sworn never to read a single word of her books (a vow he has kept to this day!) Nothing stops him from telling everyone he knows that his daughter is now a USA Today Bestselling author or from handing out bookmarks on the golf course. Love can make even a minister do strange things! Renee Bernard is a freelance writer and host of "The Romance Bookmark" on Readers Entertainment, as well as a contributor to Romantic Times BookReviews magazine. Renee currently lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. (Note an interesting proximity to great wineries!) For more information, please visit her website at www.reneebernardauthor.com. *** Does anyone really read these things? I'll pretend they don't and say this. It's very true that my father was a chaplain in the Navy and that he has sworn to never read a word I write (not that this keeps him from telling everyone he sees that his daughter writes romance novels that are too hot for him to read.) See the humor? If you've ever met me, or heard me on Tuesday nights on my internet radio show, "The Romance Bookmark with Renee Bernard" that last bit makes a lot of sense. My mother, however, does read my books. And while I find this far more frightening, it balances the universe out beautifully and makes me very grateful for that sense of humor mentioned above. It's also very true that if you're not supposed to do something in search of a career in writing, I seem to have accidentally done it. Seriously, all the brilliant advice about not quitting your day job, etc.-those people know what they're talking about! Not that I meant to quit my day job, but comedy abounds in my life and I've simply learned to embrace it. Another truth: Yes, I can write scorching hot sex scenes and yes, I'm too shy to wear open-toed shoes in public. I didn't say it made sense. I said it was true.
