nerds can be hot after they take off their glasses? like they tell us to do. ;)
They are more attractive if they need the heroine to save them, so yes, wounded, grouchy, underdogs, etc. Nerds? Can they be hot? #romancelandia #histfic

I am writing my 100th full-length #novel, the last book in a 12-book series, and after a career spanning 40 years, I cannot find a solution to the plot I have created. I really cannot go out in a stumble instead of a sheet of flame. Can I time travel an AK47 back to the Regency? patriciarice.com

What if half a thousand years after the death of King Arthur & Merlin, all but the legends have been forgotten?

And then *someone* told you that you were their descendant--that you had magic--and that you were the hope of England's survival?
