Author of Spring, Bax & Butterflies, Missing Piece and Blame the Fireworks.

Riina currently resides in Germany. She spent countless exciting days in the UK and US and lost her heart in Tokyo.

She would be thrilled if one day her stories could brighten someone’s day in the way those beautiful romances always lighten up her dull everyday life. Riina is looking forward to sharing many more stories with the world.

When she doesn’t daydream about boys in love, and isn’t glued to her Kindle, Riina loves to travel the world and explore the unknown.

Nothing But Readi...: Lady Teresa's Quest 57 295 Aug 20, 2017 06:20PM  
Jay Bell
“No wheelchair can support damaged self-esteem until it learns to stand upright. No cane can help emotions limp along until they can walk.

A cast or brace can't protect a vulnerable spirit, and not even the strongest painkiller can stop the ache cause by a failed relationship.

No, the only way a broken heart mends itself is with stitches of time and the sticky tape of hastily rearranged dreams.”
Jay Bell, Something Like Spring

“There’s a coward and a fool, and both of them are you, My heart is cracked and broken, but yours is frozen through.”

message 23: by Macky

Macky Hey Riina girl! Sorry I'm late replying to your post on my profile. I'm a bugger for not checking my profile page. Lol.

Had a quietish weekend really, although I went to my sisters on Sunday for a meal and it was hectic as usual with all her kids, grand kids and animals ( three cats and a big soft bouncy Rottweiler) so I was knackered when I got home and fell asleep in the chair!

I can't multi task with books at all, I can only read one at a time. My brain shuts down and I can never remember what was happening when I put the book down to read another. No, I'm a one book girl! :D I sort of envy people though who can juggle their reads.

Hope you had a reasonable weekend my love. They come and go don't they? I suppose with me not working I don't appreciate them like I used too. If you're a working girl then they are a godsend.

Keep smiling hun and happy reading! Xxx <3 :))

message 18: by Macky

Macky Hey my friend!

First of all wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and all the. Best for the coming new year ! <3 xxx

Its going to be a quiet, lazy Xmas for us guys. And I get the ' grinchy ' feel hun! Lol. I'm afraid I don't do Xmas like I used too, too knackered and I get fed up with all the emphasis being directed on far too expensive gifts and annoying Christmas songs on a loop! Bah Humbug.... I think three ghosts will be visiting me this year Rofl!

Having said that I love seeing others get excited so I hope yours perks up and you have a wonderful time. Who knows it might even snow!!!!

Hugs and smooches. oxoxo


message 17: by Macky

Macky I looooooove your poem for Robbie!!!! I've copied and pasted it and sent it to myself so I can keep it with all my stories. You made me cry naughty girl! Lol. Thank you. Thank you, thank you!!! <3 xxx


message 16: by Macky

Macky Good morning my friend! Just wanted to say another thank you for that lovely message on Decembers story. You make writing those stories worthwhile my love because you're always so kind and encouraging. I adore your stories too and you amaze me every time because I'd never guess English wasn't your first language. You rock Riina! <3 xxx


message 15: by Macky

Macky Aww don't worry my love. You've been a busy girl! That wonderful story must have taken up some time. I keep meaning to get stuck into one and then keep getting waylaid! By those pesky Christmas stories.. Haha!

Hope you manage to find a great excuse for that Xmas dinner, but sometimes you've got to show your face! Ugh! Hey, it might turn out to be real fun. Lol!

Enjoy some reading Riina girl! :)) xxx <3


message 14: by Macky (last edited Nov 29, 2013 11:32AM)

Macky I might try and do something too Riina but like you I'm getting caught up in my books! Lol.

We're outing Sunday at my sisters so its going to be a part lazy/ part hectic weekend. Hope you have a lovely one too, with lots of Riina time to do what you want my love! Reading or writing, whatever you choose ... Enjoy! Looking forward to your story. :D <3

Xxx


message 13: by Macky

Macky Morning Riina girl! <3

Aww I'm so glad you're loving Coming Home, I've read it twice and loved it both times. Lex and Tally are just yum together... Its a really nice series.

Have you noticed they've put up the nominations for the December story challenge? Eeek!!! I don't know if I'll get round to doing one for Novembers challenge now... We'll have to see! Some good stories on it though, I've only just read them but very enjoyable. Do you think you'll have time now?

Hugs! Xxx


message 12: by Macky

Macky Hey Riina.

Yaay! I'm glad I was able to help ( finally ) with the cafe stories. I think you'll enjoy them.

As for the book deleting I decided a book spring clean was in order so I just deleted the ones that I didn't think I really wanted to read and kept the ones I did. To be honest half of them I couldn't even remember why I'd added them in the first place! In time it'll be full again... Lol!

What are we like! Haha!

Hugs! Xx


message 11: by Macky

Macky OMG ! I totally forgot the cafe stories!!! So sorry my sweet... Slap me! Lol. Actually have you read Coming Home, that's a cafe one and very sexy/sweet... Start of a series too. There's another one as well but I can't for the life of me remember the name.. Its about a guy who has a damaged leg and he falls for a cafe owner in a coastal town, its lovely so I'll try and find out the name.

Haven't even thought yet about the November story, it seems to have slipped passed me but I will try and do one. Just been sorting out my shelves ... Got rid of loads of books off my to read shelf which I know I'll never get round to reading. Feels really good having a good old clear out!

Time flies!! Hugs. Xx


message 10: by Macky

Macky Hey Riina, had a very lazy weekend thanks! Lol. As for coffee shop stories I'll need to get my brain in gear and put my thinking cap on.. There is one I remember but the title has escaped me! Typical.. Haha! Leave it with me and I'll try to remember and let you know. I'm so happy you're loving Zero... I had the best time revisiting it. Just adore Jack and D. * sigh* :)) xx


message 9: by Macky

Macky Wow, Tokyo. Lucky you!

Actually I've not got that big a family either Riina, pretty much same as you but my sister has kids and they have kids and partners so it grows every year lol. I'm just a bit of a grinch... I love giving presents, the idea of Xmas and the films and books but the reality of getting it all done in time not so much as I've got older. * sigh*

And as for the story, it does tend to run away with you once You get started doesn't it? So be afraid... You might get what you wish for. Hee hee! :D

You too girl... A nice looooooong one!


message 8: by Macky

Macky OMG Riina I can't believe that Xmas is so close now, this year has flown! I wish I could be as enthusiastic.. Lol. Not my favourite time of year, too stressful apart from the fact its lovely exchanging gifts!
Sounds like you've had a lovely visit with your friend, so Internet time takes a back seat and rightly so.
Look forward to your October story and of course whatever you pluck out of your super imagination for the boys this month. I'm still dithering! Haha. ;))


message 7: by Macky

Macky Hi Riina , I'm not so bad thanks. Had a bad migraine at the weekend which kept me off GR for a couple of days the beginning of the week... Ugh!
I'm so pleased...it was my picture that won so I'm looking forward to adding my bit when I get time. I have an idea I want to play around with but its fitting it in around reading and reviews! Sometimes I'd like to just hit those stars and then move on to the next book but once you start reviewing you feel guilty if you don't! Haha. How are you doing love? Everything ok with you...any story ideas yet? :))

oh yes i read that! very nice :)

I admire poetry and people who can come up with all kinds of creative writing. Especially short stuff! I am never happy with my poetry attempts so I gave it up =D keeping it short is just really difficult ...

I agree, they're both lovely pictures! I hope for a kiss in the rain m/m picture in the future! (maybe there has been one in the past..?)

One thing I find extremely difficult is to actually settle with one idea and go for it =D I feel like having way too many ideas from which i can't chose .. so yeah, i definitely need more time to think :) (and decide)

Can't wait to read your stories too! :)
Have you done many stories in the past? I haven't actually read through the forum properly yet...


message 5: by Macky

Macky Not yet, although I did a little limerick style poem on the f/f one. I'm going to try to do one for each though when time allows. They're both sweet pics aren't they? So shouldn't be too hard to get inspired. look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)
