Hi, Coffee Time readers. My name is Brenda Whiteside and I’m hanging out at Coffee, Books and a Blog with you today. I’ll be posting several topics today. First up is – just who are we?

Hmm…coffee. My coffee preference is strong with a hint of caramel and enough cream to turn the coffee the color of the caramel. Yes, I like caramel. So grab your favorite coffee choice and join me. My morning always starts with coffee. I tried to break the habit a while back but mornings just weren’t the same.

Hmm…books. I have a wider range in my taste for books than for coffee. I write romance but I read many different genres. Recently, I finished Diana Gabaldon’s third book in the Outlander series. A few weeks before that I reread To Kill a Mockingbird. My TBR list is longer than I am tall and is filled with romance, suspense and a smattering of biographies.

Hmm…blog. What I’m doing today. When I’m not blogging, I’m writing. I write contemporary and historical romance. My first novel, Sleeping with the Lights On, was a contemporary romance published by The Wild Rose Press. My latest novel is a 1945 historical romance published by Melange Books.

And when I’m not writing, I enjoy motorcycling and lazy evenings sipping red wine and enjoying good conversation with friends.

So…what’s your coffee preference, what are you reading and what do you do when you aren’t reading blogs?
