villa where second destiny story could have played out

My search for a villa where Second Destiny story could have been played out… A couple of years after I’d finished writing Second Destiny and it was published I researched online for a visual of a villa to share with my readers my vision of where I imagined my characters (the artist divorcee, Lia and the gorgeous Dev, her first and only love) to fall back in love with each other. I wanted to choose the feel and the romantic flavor of what I had envisioned whilst writing the novel of my heart. When I came across this link to […]

Large Print Editions Not Just for Seniors!

Published on / Gloria Silk Author Posted in About Writing Continue reading

I discovered earlier in my teens in the most magical, favorite place in the whole world – the library – that large print books made it easier for me to read even if I didn’t have any sight issues. Only later did I hear all sorts of strange stereotypes about who read the large print editions – mainly the elderly or those with partial or major sight loss. When a few of my readers asked about if or when my books would be made available in large print I set aside the time and energy to have all four of […]

Published on / Gloria Silk Author Posted in About Writing Continue reading

Fact Vs. Fiction and Everything in Between: The Birth of Bestseller, ‘Nobody’s Baby But Mine’ Have you ever fantasized or wondered how your life would have turned out if you had made different decisions years ago? If you have ever contemplated the various ‘what if’ scenarios about love or career opportunity, then you’re not alone. Imagination and daydreaming are all part of our lives, helping us sort our thoughts and ways forward. This daydreaming path, filled with hope and fear, was exactly how my novel Nobody’s Baby But Mine, came about over two decades ago. In 1995 my husband and I had […]

Hi dear friends, Welcome to my new subscribers! Happy Mother’s Day to all those who have kids and/or pets! And happy weekend. And great news for all those who have been waiting for news regarding my upcoming stories. Tomorrow is my birthday as well as celebrating Mother’s Day and some other important things.

My Favorite Fictional Couples…Just for Valentine’s Day

Published on / Gloria Silk Author Posted in About Writing Continue reading

Jenny and Ollie From Love Story by Eric Segal – Jennifer Cavilleri and Oliver Barrett IV Just like Romeo and Juliet, this is one of my favorite love stories. Although I give my own characters happy ever after endings, there’s room for great romances where the lovers lose each other too soon, or when they’re too young. This story was very sweet on so many levels. Love Story: Love means never having to say you’re sorry. Read the summary now. Warning, this is a tear-jerker: Click on image for trailer Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – Scarlett O’Hara […]
