It’s a familiar way to start, so we’ll just go with it:
Hello world! Welcome to the website of Carolina Prescott, a writer of historical romance.
I’m really excited about my blog here. (I should be—I’ve been thinking about it for a really long time.) There are so many things I want to write about: things I’ve learned while doing research for my books, things I’ve learned about the writing for the romance market, and things I’ve learned about being a writer. Along the way, I expect I’ll tangent (and yes, I do use it as a verb) to a ton of other topics, including (but not limited to) favorite authors, favorite books, favorite TV shows, favorite places, favorite characters, and even favorite flowers. I also expect you’ll see an opinion or two—in fact, let me tell you right now that all of the opinions on this site are mine and I am wholly responsible for all of them. 
Perhaps a little history is in order. I’ve been a fan and an avid reader of romance novels for a long time. They’re basically fairy tales for grown ups, right? I spent large amounts of my childhood reading The Red Fairy Book, The Blue Fairy Book, The Green Fairy Book and Hans Christian Andersen’s Complete Fairy Tales; long segments of my youth singing my way through all manner of productions including Camelot, Cinderella, and The Sound of Music; and countless stolen evenings as a young adult shivering my way through Victoria Holt’s gothic romances and Phyllis Whitney’s best mysteries. (FYI, right now I’m in the middle of an Eloisa James binge.)
What I love most about all of these—what I love most about the romance genre—is the happily ever after. Everyone deserves a happy ending and romances guarantee that you get one. Whether it’s the guy getting the girl, the bad guy being punished, the trusty pet finding her way home, or justice finally being served, happy endings are what I prefer to read. And, with all that time reading fairy tale romances and books with happy endings, writing romance was a logical next step.
So enjoy my musings and please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have. (I’ll let you know if I have any for you.) You can get notifications of a new blog by clicking the “Follow Carolina Prescott” button at the bottom. There might even be a surprise or two along the way. See? Everyone should have a happy ending every once in a while.
Okay…now back to writing. Thanks for reading!
