Welcome J. L.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m an ESL teacher, entrepreneurial trainer –launched my company, JL Regen Enterprises LLC, along with a handbook, The Write Rules, a photojournalist, and a novelist.
Is there an event in your life that affected you as a writer?
Surviving 9/11 and cancer made a huge difference in goal setting.
Is writing something that comes easy to you or not?
I do extensive outlines, without which I can’t function. I do a lot of revisions.
What do you do when you are not writing?
When I’m not writing, I’m conducting workshops for my company; working with ESL students from K to undergrad college students, yoga, ballet, horseback riding, and, when a vaccine is available, my passion: travel.
Do you have an unusual hobby?
I don’t know if my hobby is unusual or not, but my favorite type of photography is capturing landscapes, which I do in different dimensions.
Secret Desires
By J.L .Regen
Margo Simmons is ecstatic when she inherits her uncle’s Manhattan apartment and a handsome sum of money. To her chagrin, there are strings attached. She must be gainfully employed in a job for a year. Everything in Margo’s life has complications. When she meets the man of her dreams, she anguishes over how to fulfill her secret desires for a loving relationship because he is still emotionally tied to his deceased wife and afraid to open his heart again. To replace her fractured childhood growing up with a distant stepfather, Margo becomes the guardian of an elementary student who longs for connection and closeness. As the story evolves, readers will see how these individuals unite. Secret Desires is a contemporary romance written from the heart and speaks to anyone who has suffered a loss and had to start over.
