When she read a romance novel, she became not only hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. When she received her BA degree in psychology from the University of Texas, she had no idea she had gained a foundation that would help her to create believable characters-characters that are often described as “real people.” She began her career writing training manuals and computer code for the IRS, but something was always missing. Her "dual" nationality has given her a love for all things British and Texan, and she enjoys weaving both heritages through her stories. Lorraine was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, but soon after moved to Texas. She is the daughter of a British beauty (her mom won second place in a beauty contest sponsored by Max Factor® during which she received a kiss from Caesar Romero, (the Joker on the original Batman TV series) and a Texan who was stationed at Bovingdon while serving in the air force. No doubt because growing up, watching movies with her mom, she was taught that the best movies "won't half make you cry." Lorraine Heath has always had a soft spot for emotional love stories. ![]()

Analysis of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Princeīy NASRULLAH MAMBROL on September 21, 2022Īrguably the most popular of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales, “The Happy Prince” is the first story in The Happy Prince and Other Tales, which was published in 1888. ![]() ![]() Davodeau’s brilliance is connecting it all into a deeply affecting story about how we seek to change our lives.

Skillfully unsentimental characterizations, light and earthy watercolors, and everyday goings-on reveal a familiar recognizable world, but Davodeau (The Initiates) merges these elements into an enchanting realism.

Shaw was soon to be a rich debutante, but at 14 she just felt out of place and unloved. I enjoyed her personality and friendliness so much I just knew I'd love her books - and I was right! I started this just before going to bed on a Sunday night and finished it before going to sleep Monday night! I was sure tired the next day, but still - it was so worth it!
