Lois Templin - Author of Medieval Historical Romances

Writing the blurb and taglines to send to my publisher for my soon to be released medieval romance (book 3 in series). Please send sympathy, thoughts, and good wishes...

When I see castles, temples, and other remnants of history that have survived hundreds and even thousands of years, it reminds me of the resiliency of humanity and that now is just a blip in the spectrum of time. That gives me hope for the future…even in the current situation.

If you’re sick and have to get on a plane, PLEASE WEAR A MASK!!! The selfish oaf 2 rows away practically coughed up a lung and now we are on day 4 of being sick on our vacation. Lesson learned: a good dose of Emergen-C is not enough, wear masks all the time because the assholes who are sick won’t😡

On my way to northern MN for late holiday celebrations but I hear the snow is melting and will probably be gone by the time I get there😭. I love the snow and miss it!!!

My new bookshelves arrived and now I just want to play with my books😃! But I'm on deadline for getting my book to the publisher, so have to wait😭.

This guy lives at the end of our lane and every time I see him, I call him “Donk-ay!” with a Shrek accent😁

Realizing that a writing group is important because always writing alone can be a bleak place…

If you’ve contemplated moving to another country but feared being isolated or lonely, I can tell you won’t be alone and you won’t regret it. This is bounty from our Greek neighbors in the little seaside village we live in here 💙💙💙

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

It feels like the night before Christmas!!! Reading to fill up my TBR for the holidays.

I'll be doing an author talk and book signing (my first!) at my hometown library in early January and I need suggestions. How do you jump into the "talk" and structure it? Especially when most will know me from my past life as a financial consultant and not as a writer of medieval romances....Help!

I just can’t find a medieval curse word that hits as hard as fuck! But I keep getting reviews that count (and judge) how many times I use it in my medieval romances. What’s your thought? Like it or hate it?

Love this book!

I’ve noticed that the closer I get to the deadline on my manuscript, the more I’m ever so hopefully adding to my Kindle TBR😁

Please quit telling me that a medieval heroine not wanting her thoughts and actions dictated to her by men, or wanting to have a purpose in life that appeals to her intellect, is giving her "modern sensibilities" and is unbelievable.

Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and a slew of others would disagree.

Sarah Maclean's kick-ass heroines are the absolute chef's kiss💕. And that's a hill I'm willing to die on😁

Just what I needed - another place to scroll while I procrastinate on my WIP😜

So I guess this is a thing now…Hi, writers and readers of BlueSky!
