It strikes me that November is a month that requires us to have a lot of determination. Webster’s defines determination as “firmness of purpose; having resolve or will power to do what you know must be done.”
November is National Novel Writing Month and it requires a lot of determination and resolve to hit your word count of 1,600 words a day. I’ve done NaNoWriMo 4 times previously and I was successful all 4 times, but it was stressful. Especially with thanksgiving prep. It takes a really strong willed person who has a “firmness of purpose” to finish.
November also plays host to Veterans Day. Recognized on Nov 11 every year, it was born out of the ashes of World War I. It is intended to recognize our veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve.
It takes a certain amount of mental and physical determination to serve in the military. And when you’re active duty, your country comes 1st, love second. That said, is there room for love when you’re in the military?
The power of love can move mountains. Now throw in a little determination and you can forge a romance that’s unforgettable. I’d like to share some military themes stories/romances with you this month.
#10 – South Pacific – An American nurse is stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II and falls in love with a French ex-patriot.
#9 – Atonement – Set in England against a World War II backdrop, will a lie tear lovers Robbie and Cecilia apart?
#8 – Pearl Harbor – Will the attack on Pearl Harbor force Evelyn to choose between Rafe and Danny?
#7 – Dear John – Featuring Channing Tatum and set against the war in modern day Afghanistan, what do simple letters hold for John and Savannah?
#6 – From Here to Eternity – Another movie leading up to Pearl Harbor, a soldier begins a secret affair with the captain’s mistreated wife.
#5 – A Very Long Engagement – A French movie set in World War I. A French woman searches for her fiancé.
#4 – Top Gun – Maverick risks it all for his job and love.
#3 – Cold Mountain – Set against the back drop of the American Civil War, a confederate soldier leaves the army hoping to return to the wife he left behind.
#2 – An Officer and a Gentleman – Zack Mayo has a lot to learn about the military, the Navy, and love.
#1 – Casablanca – Filmed in 1942 and set in World War II, Rich must help Ilsa get out of the country.
My Personal Favorite – is not a movie, but a mini-series called North and South. It aired in 1985. Centered around 2 friends, Orry from the South, and George from the North, it explored friendship, love, and determination against the American Civil War.
I hope you enjoy this month’s poll.

Rebecca Brandewyne is one of my favorite authors! I love all of her work, but my favorite novel of hers is "A Moment in Time". It fits all the criteria you have laid out in this newsletter!
Thanks for sharing, Starr! I’ll have to check it out.
StephBee - House Targaryen is a 911 dispatcher for LAPD. Her latest novel is "A Princess is Always Right," a steampunk romance. Can Sophia save time or will she make a mess of it when she tries to stop Jonas from finding Nikola Tesla.
