We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.

Favorite Beverage (whether hot or cold): I love a piping hot Americano with heavy cream. (And no, I don’t mean a latte or cafe au lait. Those are both too milky and/or sweet.) I like strong espresso watered down, no sweetener, and just enough cream added so it doesn’t cool down my drink. Mmmm!

Favorite Color (and why): I’ve always loved red, but for many years now, my very favorite color is a perfect mix of blue-green. You’ll see various shades of this color all over our house and it just makes me happy!

Favorite Thing You Collect: I collect a lot of things from globes to teapots to houseplants, but my favorite collection that I use every day has to be my coffee mugs. I have over 100 of them and each one has a story!

  1. Good morning Deb!

    Those are tough questions….I can’t live without my decaffeinated iced tea, with lots of ice of course.
    My favorite coffee is Betty’s Recipe from Roasterie. I can even drink that one black.
    While my favorite color is royal blue, i decorate more with accents of turquoise.
    Over the years my “collection” has changed with the times. My husband says we have way too many coffee mugs so I try to do the one in, one out method. Currently I’m trying to collect the ‘Classics’ books.

    1. I love all these, Michele! I miss the Roasterie!! One of my favorite mugs is from there! (The red one with the unicycle in the photo above.) I know about one of your turquoise accents! 🙂

  2. yumm… coffee with half’n’half… cobalt blue, and (since in our house the writing muse is referred to as ‘the moose’), i’ve been collecting moose 🫎 things…
