The old 1970s song “The Things We Do for Love” ran through my head often last week. And while it’s a song about romantic love, my context was the love of parents for children and grandparents for grandchildren. You see, we are not beach people. We enjoy looking out at the ocean and hearing the waves crashing while reading a book. We don’t particularly enjoy fighting for a bit of shade … [Read more...]
Snippets from Thanksgiving
Hey friends, today is GRAND TUESDAY meaning we've got Leo and Ari today, and Leo is a sick little buddy. So I'm off to snuggle and comfort. But real quick... Some snippets from Thanksgiving, thanks to a video my daughter made. (Thanks, babe!) I hope you all had a wonderful time being grateful with (and for) family and friends, too, and that the depth of blessings in your life took your … [Read more...]
It’s the Most Wonderful Time
When I was young, I loved the month of December because the entire month felt like a celebration. There were Christmas parties at church and school, special Christmas concerts at church and school, plus Christmas, plus my birthday, plus New Year's celebrations. And the music! Nothing can beat Christmas music for its sheer beauty and variety! Now that I'm adulting my way through life, there … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving!
Once upon a time there was a girl who dreamed of writing books. Books were magic carpets that transported her through time and across space. The only problem was her favorite authors simply did not write books fast enough. What was a voracious reader to do? She already haunted the local Christian bookstore, a feat she did with such regularity she'd walk in and the owner would hand the catalogs to … [Read more...]
Name the Character Game & Giveaway!
Hi friends, and happy Wednesday! I hope your day is off to a lovely start. I don’t know if you read my last post about how we moved from Maryland to Florida and, three weeks later, got slammed by Hurricane Helene. Four feet of water ended up inside and outside our house. We lost 95% of our belongings (they were still in boxes on the floor) and two cars. It’s been really rough, as … [Read more...]
Time to Celebrate…20 Books!
When my first novel, Lady of Milkweed Manor, released nearly 17 years ago, I didn't think ahead and imagine I'd have twenty books someday, I was just thankful to have one! I know lots of authors have written many more novels (including several authors here on Inspired by Life and Fiction) but I am still so very thankful. Being a published author is my lifelong dream come true. And being an … [Read more...]
Giving Thanks . . . and Christmas-ing
Thanksgiving is always the beginning of all the winter holidays for me. Since I used to always take the Christmas decorations down the day after Christmas, I've gotten in the habit of putting them up before Thanksgiving. It makes the house look so festive for guests who come for Thanksgiving dinner too. This year, our daughters and their families are coming for dinner on Wednesday evening. So … [Read more...]

Free to Amazon Prime Members + Rendezvous!
Did you know that Amazon Prime members have access to a selection of free ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks? I've been an Amazon Prime member for years. However, the "Prime Reading" part of my membership wasn't on my radar until Amazon reached out to me and offered to pay me to place Memory Lane in Prime Reading for a limited time. I said yes because I felt it was a worthwhile experiment. All … [Read more...]
