[amazon_link id="0982500203" target="_blank" container="" container_class="" ]THE HOUSE ON BLACK LAKE[/amazon_link] has been adapted to screenplay. Go to Home Page to view provocative trailer filmed by acclaimed cinematographer.

Although I would not consider my novel a tear jerker, the characters are tormented and fight to overcome the pain of heartbreak throughout the story. It is the struggle to overcome heartbreak that generally leads to transformative change. Sometimes it is refreshing to experience the intense struggles of others to know that we are not alone in experiencing life's disappointments, tragedies, and thwarted passions. A good cry is therapeutic, an internal cleansing of sorts.

The following is a list of the top 20 romance novels that will break you heart.  Thanks to Amazon romance forum for input.

The new Red Riding Hood Movie, by [amazon_link id="B001UV4XFG" target="_blank" container="" container_class="" ]Twilight[/amazon_link] director, Catherine Hardwicke enters the foggy world of the werewolf. The new film stars Amanda Seyfied and Gary Oldman as inhabitants of a medieval village plagued by the the beast.  Many believe the film an excuse to lure Twilight fans, but it also feeds a deeper need to go deeper, to investigate the darker aspects of life.

The cinematographer has exquisite elements, nearly archetypal in their grace.
