Step Back In Time with Tracey Bateman


Tracey Bateman welcomes you to Oregon  Country in the Oregon Brides stories.

Synopsis:

Oregon Brides: But for Grace/Everlasting Hope/Beside Still Waters (Heartsong Novella Collection)Star has a secret about her past life that she wants to keep hidden.   Her mother working in the Salon.  She runs away and straight into the arms of Michael Riley.  The story is not that simple because Michael has dealt with a past that involves the saloons as well.  Will he forgive and be able to move forward?

Hope feels that all her problems will be solved if she can move her family out west. Now how to get around that small detail of no husband?  Could Andy Riley be the key?

Eva feels the world at her feet and possesses a wild spirit just like her pa.  No man has been able to tame her yet.  Will Jonesy succeed where others have failed?

 My Thoughts:

I am a fan of Tracey Bateman’s writing.  I actually liked Oregon Brides better than the California Chances.   I found each story interesting.   The book kept my interest all the way through.   I felt hope and joy emanating from each story. 

I love reading a book that can take you back in time.   Ms.  Bateman describes the ideal setting for a story of love and romance.   What entices you to read a story?  Would you be interested in totally escaping?

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
