Hi, I’m Judith Ashley, author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, soul nourishing romantic women’s fiction with light paranormal elements. My stories show you what life could be like if you had a place like The Circle where you are unconditionally accepted, supported and loved. And where, with this support, you make choices to overcome the darkest nights of your life to choose love and light.
In Dr. Glasser’s Choice Theory, Blue is the
color of the Real World, that which is but is altered by our senses and
perception. This post is Real. I am at my computer typing it into Word so I can
copy and paste into Blogger and click “publish”. I spent an hour or so
yesterday looking back at blog posts I’ve written to put up today and then decided
against that and here I am.
Words don’t always come easily when I want to
write. Other days my fingers can hardly keep up with the stream flowing forth
from my brain or wherever the creativity originates.
What is it I want to say?
I am amazed that in less than 90 days Sarah Raplee
McDermed and I put together Romancing The Genres. We brainstormed and came up
with romance sub-genres, we searched for authors within them, we invited
authors we knew, authors we’d heard about, authors we found. In other words, we
did the work.
Who answered the call and is still with us to
the end?
Paty Jager
Diana McCollum
Barbara Binns
So the five of us or 25% of the original 20
will be sharing their thoughts and ideas about writing, blogging and in some
cases, life.
When we launched in May 2011 we had Canadian
and New Zealand authors. Over the years authors from Australia and the UK
joined us.
Bronwen Evans – New Zealand
Margaret Tanner - Australia
Opal Carew - Canada
Erica Hayes - UK
Susan Horsnell - Australia
Lauren James - Australia
Michelle Sommers - Australia
Madelle Morgan – Canada
Cassandra O’Leary – Australia
Luanna Stewart - Canada
One of the highlights of my life has been
meeting authors from around the world, keeping in touch with them when they
moved in a different direction. You’ll meet some of them this month as they’ve
been gracious enough to join us one more time.
You can find my books at your favorite e-book
vendor as well as through my website www.JudithAshley.net and Windtree
Press. Print books are available at Jan’s Paperbacks in Hillsboro, OR and
Arte Soleil in Portland, OR.
Their addresses are on my website. And be sure to ask your library if you’d
prefer to read my books through that resource.

You and Sarah have had some great authors from around the world as guests and regular bloggers. I've enjoyed them all!
Thanks Diana, I have also. And the best part is being able to stay in touch with some of them. When we started RTG, I didn't believe people could become friends over the internet. RTG and meeting these authors changed my mind.
What a great list of authors! I am grateful to have read so many of their blog posts, and others through the years. Thanks for the rich legacy you founded.
Lynn, you've introduced our readers to some Amazing Alaska Authors. Thank you for all you've contributed over the years.
I agree that getting to know authors from around the world has been one of the great benefits of running Romancing the Genres, Judith! Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
