Blue Wide Sky by Inglath Cooper

Inglath Cooper of Virginia is a RITA(R) Award winner for best long contemporary romance novel, as decided by Romance Writers of America each year. When I was a little child, I fell in love with reading and devoured the majority of the books in my primary school library. I eventually chose to pursue a writing profession, hoping to write romance fiction that would do for others what my favorite books had done for me. I enjoy character-driven tales that make me feel as if I've known these characters for a long time and make me wish I didn't have to finish the book. Because it deals with so many different types of relationships in a woman's life, romance novels has always appealed to me.

Not only with her lifelong love, but also with her mother, sister, and best friend. Authors of romance novels have a lot of leeway to examine many of the significant times and transitions in women's life. Who doesn't appreciate a nice love story? In addition to writing, Inglath is active in dog rescue, partnering with The Franklin County Humane Society to rehome dogs and cats.

She has offered her time in every way possible, including sitting on the Board of Directors, fundraising, photographing dogs and cats for adoption, and fostering. Helping an mistreated or neglected dog have a good life with a loving family is more fulfilling than words can express.
