Writing and reading romance, of course! I also love yard saling and antiquing to find items to add to my collection of memorabilia of women who served in the military.
Oh, and I like to collect "Eye Candy"...enjoy some of my favorites!
..
Music
Country music mostly --- Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Trisha Yearwood...oh, the list goes on and on. I also enjoy swing music from the 40's and Elvis will always be The King!
Movies
Casablanca, Guys & Dolls (pretty much all the movie musicals from the golden era of Hollywood), Pretty In Pink, Pride & Prejudice (both the 2006 and the PBS versions!), Return To Me, Top Gun, When Harry Met Sally, White Christmas, Yankee Doodle Dandy . . . again, the list goes on and on!
Television
Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows on tv! I also enjoy Dancing With The Stars and American Idol. Long gone shows -- I still miss The West Wing and JAG!
Books
I love romance novels in all their wonderful flavors! Contemporary romances are my favorite and a few of my favorite authors are Susan Mallary, Catherine Mann, Arianna Hart, Rachel Gibson, Karen Templeton, Julie Cohen, Kathy Love, Jennifer Crusie, Kristin Hardy...okay, there's not enough room to list them all!
About me: Christyne Butler loves romance, both in real life and in the make-believe worlds of music, movies, television and most importantly to her . . books. She first discovered romance novels while serving in the US Navy and it’s been a love affair ever since. With her feet now firmly on dry land in the wilds of New England, she works full time, takes care of her family and stays busy by putting pen to paper (okay, fingers to keyboard) writing her own romance novels.
She writes contemporary romances full of life, love, a hint of laughter and perhaps a dash of danger too. Christyne loves the challenge of the boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back and the journey of joy and hardship two people go through. And there has to be a ‘happily ever after’ or she’s just not satisfied.
When she’s not writing, Christyne can be found hunting for treasures at yard sales and antique fairs to add to her collection of memorabilia of women who served in the military, watching classic romantic movies and the great musicals of the 40’s and 50’s, and reading books by her favorite authors.
