In the romances I write for Silhouette Nocturne, I try to be globally aware. My first full-length romance novel is set–in part–in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the villain I created was inspired by General Laurent Nkunda, who is mentioned in the article below.

I was encouraged by his arrest last year, but it seems things aren’t improving and some people are blaming the UN.

It’s hard to know what the right solution is, but it’s important to at least know what’s going on.
