Article: AUTHOR'S HEART IS IN HER FICTION ROMANCE NOVELIST NOMINATED FOR PRIZE

The two tall, six-shelf bookcases in Barbara Keiler's home office in Sudbury have a history.

Keiler, known in the world of romance fiction as Judith Arnold, got them in 1989 from her husband, Ted, a research scientist, a few months after they moved to Sudbury.

Ted, who had forgotten Keiler's birthday that April, sheepishly presented them to her early that summer when she returned home from a romance writers conference.

In the meantime, though, Keiler had gotten a novel out of the experience, "Change of Life," about an underappreciated wife and mother in Wayland whose husband forgets her birthday.
