Steamy romance novelist Judith Krantz dies at 91 | People National - Norfolk Daily News

I got only one A-plus, and that was in English 101," she told The Boston Globe in 1982. "I had a B-minus average in English, my major, and made C's and C-minuses in everything else. But I didn't come here to get good marks."When she could earn no better than a B in a short story class, she decided she wasn't good enough to write fiction."Just in time for my 50th birthday, I discovered that I could write fiction. My husband had urged me to try fiction for 15 years before I did," she was quoted in a profile on Wellesley's website in 2001. "I believed that if I couldn't write 'literature,' I shouldn't write at all.""Now, I would say to young women, do something you have a true feeling for, no matter how little talent you may believe you have," she added. "Let no masterwork be your goal — a modest goal may lead you further than you dream."Krantz had met her husband through her high school friend Barbara Walters, who introduced the two in 1953. They married the following year."I fell in love with him the minute I saw him," she once said.Her husband died in 2007 at age 83. The couple had two sons, Tony and Nick, a stockbroker, and two grandchildren.Krantz's family requested that donations be given to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles in lieu of flowers.Her memoir, "Sex and Shopping: The Confessions of a Nice Jewish Girl," was published in 2001 and it reflected on her penchant for telling sex-drenched tales about the pretty and the privileged."In my opinion, there are two things women will always be interested in — sex and shopping," she said in 1994. "And if they're not, they've left out a large part of the fun in life." #inform-video-player-3 .inform-embed { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; }... http://norfolkdailynews.com/news/national/people_national/steamy-romance-novelist-judith-krantz-dies-at/article_89845384-9634-11e9-8095-7f79dc29a2f3.html

The city is considering other ways to spruce up the stop in the future, including opening an ice cream stand nearby. Advertisement The stop has already received a lot of attention lately.

David Austin, whose new varieties returned fragrance and romance to the rose, dies - Texarkana Gazette

Few shared his vision.At the time, breeders, plant nurseries and consumers were drawn to stiff, tightly furled and resolutely unscented hybrid tea and floribunda roses that embodied the prevailing ideal of a rosebud on a stick."He had gone around to other rose nurseries [in England] and tried to get them to grow them for him," said Michael Marriott, his longtime colleague and company rosarian. "They all rejected him out of hand."Today, Austin's creations, which he called English Roses, are the gold standard in the vast contemporary rose market. Chalice-shaped, multi-petaled, richly hued and perfumed, they are widely celebrated for having restored the charm and character to the iconic flower.From his home and nursery in Albrighton, Austin, his son David Austin Jr. and their colleagues developed a rose breeding center that keeps their annual catalogue replete with more than 100 varieties of new-old roses. The United States is the second-largest market for them, after Britain, though English Roses are found in gardens around the world.In the past two decades, his firm, David Austin Roses Ltd., has developed varieties for the cut flower market that have become the most popular wedding roses in the United States, said sales executive Rebecca Reed.David Charles Henshaw Austin ... http://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/national/story/2018/dec/24/david-austin-whose-new-varieties-returned-fragrance-and-romance-rose-dies/758030/
