Here is a wonderfully romantic collage Kaye Dacus created and Ruth recently posted of North & South. I thought those of you who are fans would appreciate it after my last post, which was the most popular to date, thanks to the Richard Armitage fan club convening here:) After tiring of no TV, I watched episode one on my laptop, earphones and all:) Needless to say, I'm very anxious to get to the romantic scene at left here but am glad I have so much in between to look forward to!My impressions so far... What a hero! I like my leading men somewhat intense and unpredictable and John Thornton qualifies on both counts:) And I appreciate Margaret Hale's plump-faced prettiness which is so unlike those Hollywood types. And I even like John's strong-willed mother, Mrs. Thornton, though I think she might spell trouble for the lovebirds later...

I couldn't wait to show you what Kaye did with my heroine, Eden' Lee's, hair ~ she added a bit of red and turned her into the template I'd had in mind all along. Bless you, Kaye! I really like these BBC actors as they come in period dress so they fit the bill quite nicely. Speaking of Kaye...
I'm so pleased to give away two of Kaye's historicals in her wonderful new series: Ransome's Honor and Ransome's Crossing. And no, they aren't supposed to be this small but I erred and don't have time to redo this post! I'll draw a name from my hat full of names on Monday. Bless you all!
