Bronwyn's Writing and More

I loved writing Nikolay's story! The reason? Because it's more than just a romance. There are layers upon layers to appreciate, not unlike Russian culture itself. But because of that, Nikolay's story is for a very sophisticated reader's palate.  I want to start with a short post here about the general construction of the story and the series. The series as whole addresses some aspect of Russian culture, history  and lifestyle in each of the books as well as addressing the immigrant story--a theme that remains relevant throughout the ages but is particularly relevant in today's news.

Happy New Year, 2018 starts with a bang with the new Russian Royals series. This year's series features four books about Dimitri Petrovich's friends (mentioned in Wallflowers to Wives book #2 Awakening the Innocent Miss). These are the four men Dimitri trusts to bring his sister and his father out of Kuban.  But they have issues of their own as they settle into their new lives.
