‘His fingers closed around hers with the softness of a caress. And when his thumb brushed against the pulse in her wrist, her heart tumbled into a dizzying spin.’
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today, I’m participating in Catherine Johnson’s Valentine’s contest. This quote is from The Doctor’s Lady by Jody Hedlund. She shares wonderful writing tips on her blog. Here’s a link to her articles on writing.
Catherine’s contest is to find a photo that fits the quote.
I’m a bit squeamish about romance, so this is as steamy as I get. What’s happening behind the flowers? I’ll never tell.
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.
Joanna
That’s a fun competition. Hah, you leave us in real suspense!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Stacey!
Stacy S. Jensen
Happy Valentines Day Joanna!

Stacy S. Jensen
I see we were similar in our photo themes. Thanks for letting me part of the secret fun!
Susanna Leonard Hill
“What’s happening behind the flowers?” – you’re funny Stacy!!! Excellent choice of picture 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Oh Susanna, I roll with what I know (or at least with the photos I have hee hee).
Linda at teacherdance
Hm-m, I wonder. What is happening behind that beautiful bouquet? Fun contest! Thanks for her link too, & Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
Stacy S. Jensen
Linda, Jody is a wonderful writer and offers a lot of info on her site. Have a great Valentine’s Day!
Beth K. Vogt
Stacey, you do find the best contests! And I remember reading that scene from The Doctor’s Lady …
Stacy S. Jensen
Beth, It was difficult keeping this one a secret. Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s day!!

We were all about smiles on Valentine’s Day. Of course, there were also toddler headbutts and belly laughs.
Robyn Campbell
Excuse me, girlfriend. I’ll be right back!
*ahem* My glasses were fogged up. *smiling*
I truly love your entry. The roses are BEAUTIFUL! I heart you. Forever and ever.
Stacy S. Jensen
You crack me up Robyn. “My glasses were fogged up.” You have a better imagination than me!
Sheila Seabrook
I love your entry, Stacy. The roses are beautiful. The petals look so soft and the scent is delicious, they look so fresh. 🙂
Have a happy Valentine’s Day!
Stacy S. Jensen
Hope you had a great day.
Patricia T.
Beautiful roses Stacy. Catherine has a lovely contest. I’m going to have to get the book.
Stacy S. Jensen
I hope you get a copy Patricia!
Nina B
I think you did a great job with that! It’s funny . . . I have the same problem writing about romance–at least fictional romance. I have no problem writing about my husband or our relationship, but fictional romance is hard to do well.
Stacy S. Jensen
Very true Nina about the fictional stuff. Loved your post about marriage first!
Jody Hedlund
Stacy!! Thank you for the shout out on my book!! This was such a lovely Valentine’s surprise!! I just pinned your picture to my Doctor’s Lady board on Pinterest!
Stacy S. Jensen
Oh, that’s very sweet of you. Love the quote, the book and your blog.
Teresa Cypher aka T K CypherBuss
Nice! Brief, but it made me smile. I think a lot of people, writers and readers alike, are a bit squeamish about romance…and avoid the “steamy” stuff. 🙂
I found my way here via the A-to-Z linky list. Nice to meet you. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Nice to meet you Teresa. Good luck with the A to Z challenge. I’m looking forward to April.
