My Friend, Author Mona Risk, uses Real News for Inspiration!! @MonaRisks #12kisses

February 8, 2015 By Mimi Barbour 8 Comments

Internet and TV often report news of
combat scenes in foreign countries, explosion, kidnapping, and similar
depressing scenes. Our hearts go to the military men and women fighting for
freedom and human rights around the world. I have also been impressed by the
courage and will-power of the journalists who have not been trained to carry
weapons and defend themselves and yet travel to these war-zones to collect
news. Have you noticed how many are reported killed or missing?
While reading about these reporters, I
imagined a fearless young woman attacked by ruffians in Baghdad and saved by an
Iraqi officer. A friendship develops between the dashing officer and the lovely
foreigner. He falls in love. Back to the U.S. she realizes their cultures and
mentalities are too different. As is often common in these unstable areas,
explosions happen claiming young lives, and she is left with the memories built
during difficult time, the friendship of his family, and maybe a stronger
reality that will never allows her to forget the foreign officer…even when
she meets her true love.
Getting involved with fearless reporter,
Roxanne, involves more complications than Dr. Greg has ever faced in the OR.
VALENTINE BABIES, an emotional romance
novel sprinkled with humor, is Book 2 in Holiday Babies and has garnered over

    Mona – can't wait to read about the foreign woman who forges a friendship with the Iraqi officer. Sounds great!

      Hi Patrice, I think I was watching TV too much before writing this story. LOL
