Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Terri Osburn. Writes: I write contemporary romance novels with heart and humor, typically in a small town setting. But my newest release, RISING STAR available Sept 12th, is set in the gritty and glittering world of the Nashville country music scene, and features a spotlight-reluctant country radio DJ falling for an up and coming country singer. About: I’ve been a romance reader for more than three decades and can’t believe this is how I get to make my living. I’m a northerner transplanted to the south more than twenty years ago and will stay here, far from extended winters. I hate to be cold! Last year I moved back to Nashville, which is truly the city of my heart. One early reviewer of RISING STAR said I wrote a love letter to Nashville and country music. Though that wasn’t my intention when I started the book, I love the sentiment and hope readers will not only enjoy the love story between…

Hi there! I’m Terri Osburn and today I’m excited to celebrate the release of THE LAST IN LOVE, the fifth and final installment in my Ardent Springs Series. This entire series has been about second chances, and Abigail “Abby” Williams deserves one more than most. After losing her husband to a roadside bomb, this Army widow has watched family and friends all find their happily ever afters. All while she’s still mourning the husband, and future, that she lost. Anyone who’s had the experience will tell you that being a military wife is not for the weak, and Abby definitely learned that during her marriage. The constant worry. The long months alone, hoping he’s safe and feeling guilty for wishing he didn’t have to be so far away. The fear you can’t ignore. Will this be the last time I see him alive? Will that dreaded knock on the door come today? Unfortunately for Abby, that knock did come, and she’s spent two years trying to get past it. Let’s see how she’s doing now. Do you regret marrying a military man? Of course not. I loved Kyle and I don’t regret a moment that I had with him. He…

After eighteen years in a dying town where nothing ever happened, I struck out on my own and ended up living in five different states over the next two decades. And in that time, I never lived in the same house for more than a couple years. But all that changed when I settled near the ocean and finally bought my first home. I guess I just had to find the place that felt like home to me. I wasn’t necessarily looking for it, and neither is my heroine in my latest release HOME TO STAY. In fact, the last thing Willow “Will” Parsons can afford to do is settle in one place. You see, she has a secret. A big one. And that secret is on her tail. But the very remote Anchor Island, at the base of the Outer Banks and accessible only by ferry, gives Will a little breathing room. She’s still ready to leave on a moment’s notice, but the longer she stays, the more she feels at home. And then Randy Navarro works his way into her life and her heart, giving Will an even bigger reason to stick around—the love she never expected to…

There comes a point in most every movie when a scene flashes across the wall before me, and I know. I know that this is the scene people will remember. The one they’ll talk about and tell their friends they have to see. I had that feeling while watching the latest Disney Pixar film Frozen. If you’ve seen it, I bet you know exactly what scene I’m going to say. That’s right. It’s the scene in which Elsa lets loose. When she’s left the castle and the fear and censure behind, and creates her beautiful ice palace. In case you haven’t seen the film, here’s the clip Everything went right in that scene. The music, of course. Idina Menzel singing the Oscar winning Let It Go is already enough to make that scene better than any movie you’ll see this year. But the renderings by the artists are also perfection. The way Elsa moves. How she transforms and comes alive. The viewer feels everything Elsa is feeling. That streak of rebelliousness mixed with the joy of independence and embracing who and what she is. Perfection. And I would wager that the artists knew the moment the scene was finished (if…
