Smith, Romantic Times --Romantic Times *From the AuthorParadise Found was originally published in mass market paperback by Kensington Publishing in 2002. When I received my rights back and decided to bring it out in e-book format, I pretty much gutted the book and re-worked it. It was a long and arduous task but I'm very pleased with the results. Some might ask why I would do this when it had been been published, was an RT Top Pick and loved by many. My response is that as a writer, I am always working on my craft and saw an opportunity to improve the story. I had forgotten that I wrote much of this book through periods of intense pain, but once I flipped open the acknowledgment on that old paperback, it all came back.. I thought I'd share it with you:Paradise Found will always be special to me because it taught me what spirit and strength and will can do. Much of this book was written in pain - hours of it, days, months -  doubled over,with a hot-water bottle pressed against my lower abdomen. The diagnosis was severe endometriosis and I underwent three surgeries in two months, the last of which was a complete hysterectomy.Well. So glad those days are over!And this is what I have to say about Paradise Found...Paradise Found explores the delicate balance between 'blind' trust and hope, the development and nurturing of feelings--where physical appearances are non-existent-- and the inevitable fear that accompanies any relationship when the mask of politeness is discarded and the true self is revealed.  *
