Our varied heroines and heroes experience life from
different perspectives, making our stories rich and heartwarming. Sometimes
heartbreaking. Full of love.
Sometimes, our books teach of days gone by, historical
novels that can take you to the moors of Scotland, where the plaid you wore
could be a life and death matter.
Sometimes, they take us to another culture, like life in India or life on an Amish farm, or on the Navajo reservation.
Sometimes our characters are different races, different
religions, different ages. And our happily ever afters all celebrate that universal concept of love.
Always, we see the commonality of us all, that love and
kindness and understanding are what makes us human. It makes us friends, makes us
celebrate each other for our differences, as well as for our sameness of
heart.
Celebrate diversity today! What are some of the diverse
stories that you enjoy to read or write? I’d love to hear!
Christine Bush is a USA Today Bestselling author of romance, romantic

Varied heroes and heroines make our books so much more interesting, Christine. Thanks for sharing.
