Mindy Lobaugh
Greetings, I am Mindy Lobaugh and
I live in beautiful Juneau, Alaska,
where the only access is by boat or
plane.
That's right I found me an Alaskan
man and married him. Actually that's
not quite true we met at college, where
I graduated
with a bachelors degree. My husband
actually
had several job offers in various
other
states but it was I who dragged him
back to his hometown to live. Guess
you
could say I have a wild side to me.
After marrying my soul-mate
we
moved soon after to Alaska where we
have made our home ever since with two
dogs and a cat. This place is
peaceful, wild and cozy. It's true our
winters can be long and dark, but I
find this conducive to a perfect
reading environment.
My love of romantic books
probably started when I was very young
and heard the fairy tale of
Cinderella.
As a teenager my older sister used
bring home tons of harlequins from the
library. Occasionally I would sneak in
and take one to read. I believe it
was
from those books I told myself never
to
settle for anything less in a man than
what you want and what makes your
heart
flutter and your body tingle. (But I
digress)
I have been reading most of
my
life in all sorts of genres related to
romance. But I would have to say it
has
only been in the last seven to ten
years that my appetite for books has
become more voracious with the
discovery of romance books in time
travel, futuristic, and anything
paranormal that could take love to a
whole new level.
It was at my first Romantic
Times Book Conference in 2002, that I
met Leslie Tramposch who introduced me
to the PNR website and offered the
idea
of becoming a reviewer, as she noticed
I have quite an enthusiastic side for
authors and their craft. Following
that conference and the more than 50
books I purchased there, I decided to
take Leslie up on her offer and try my
hand at reviewing. As it is I love to
email an author after a good book and
let them know what the magic of their
words did for me. So it only seemed
logical to take the next step to
reviewing.
