rebecca hunter

is the

nom de plume

that i chose

many years ago

as i planned

to write

my

bodice ripper

romance novel

so

if you ever

see

the name

on a cover

pick up the book

 only you

will know

who

the author

really is

and

it promises

to be

a classic

of sorts

—

romance is the glamour

which turns the dust of everyday life

into a golden haze.

– carolyn gold heilbrun
