The hubby and I love to travel and since we haven’t been blessed with kids, we have time to do a bit of it (there is a silver lining in every dark cloud). We finished up a two week whirlwind mini-tour of Europe on Sunday. I’m a bit jetlagged so that’s my excuse if I don’t make any sense. ‘Course I’ll have to come up with different excuses for tomorrow.

My love of travel is one of the reasons I love romance novels. When I don’t have time to physically travel, I can mentally travel. Both in space and time.Â
*
If I want to visit Hyde Park again, I can go there with Harriet and Gideon in Amanda Quick’s Ravished (who can forget that scene with Harriet on her petite Arabian and Gideon on one of his massive horses?). Bermuda is the hot, hot, hot location for Wylie Kinson’s Law Of Averages.  When I’m in the mood for cowboys, I visit Texas in Michele Ann Young’s Satin And Snakeskin.Â
*
And I can do all this in my pajamas (I could do an entire post on my love of pajamas, daytime pajamas and nighttime pajamas). How great is that? Awesome possum!
*
For my own writing, I always base my stories on places I’ve been to. Breach Of Trust is set in L.A., a natural to highlight Anne’s plain Jane looks (btw… every Jane I know is fab, not plain). Invisible, coming out in February, travels from Chicago (Taste of Chicago, a must see), to Phoenix, Vegas, Pittsburgh, Belize, and (almost) Turkey. Each place has its own distinct personality.

It’ll be a few weeks before I can physically travel again (’cause I do have to catch up with my businesses and I’ll admit to desperately missing my own house). What books do you recommend I read to fill in the gap?

Hi!
I´m Kimber Chin
and I write contemporary romances based in the sexy world of business.
My second novel, Invisible, is a contemporary treasure hunt through the world of hidden identities.
My first novel, Breach Of Trust, was named Runner Up for Best Contemporary Romance of 2008 by an online review site.
Every week, on my blog, www.businessromance.com,
I feature a new story.
Hiya Kimber and welcome back to the mother country 🙂
If you want to spend a few hours in India, I highly recommend Duke of Shadows by Meredith… oh dang, her name isn’t coming to me. (I’m tired, too!)
Or go to Cape Breton with Anne Marie MacDonald’s Fall on your Knees. This one isn’t a romance, but it’s such an AMAZING BOOK – one of the best written stories I’ve ever read.
Hey Kim,
Great way to travel.
How about A Man Worth Keeping by Molly O’Keefe, an award winning superromance that will take you to the shores of the Hudson River.
