I've always thought that, as a romance writer, I had the best job in the world. I sit around all day making up emotion-drenched, conflict-laden stories that push my heroes and heroines to the edge of sanity. Then I give them a happy ending.

Everyone in this world is a main character of their own movie. Fighting evil and rooting for a happy ending but like in every movie not everyone gets a happy ending.

If you're chained to a computer all day, you're not using up much energy, even if you drag yourself to the gym a couple of days a week. And to make matters worse for me, I've had a secondary career right along with my romance writing - cookbook author, under my real name, Ruth Glick.

I'm still number one, so don't forget about that. So I still can have a happy ending.

There can be a happy ending if you're willing to fight for it

It's a never-ending battle to keep the trash off this beach. We're out here every day doing this.
