New Directions

New Directions

I was sorry to see Jody step back from blogging after so many years with us on Inspired by Life...and Fiction. But I am delighted that the timing was right for me to return to a regular blogging schedule. And so here I am, your first and third Friday author.

Last Saturday, I … [Read more...]

Every book has a journey of its own

June 11, 2022 By Robin Lee Hatcher

I'll Be Seeing You

Last Tuesday (June 7), my latest novel arrived online and in bookstores. I’ll Be Seeing You is my 86th release. (To learn more about the story, visit the book page on my website.) As the title of this post says, every book has its own journey. The journey of I’ll Be Seeing You was bumpy, the kind of journey that can leave a writer feeling “less than.” The lockdowns of 2020 had … [Read more...]
