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.

French roast in a pretty coffee cup made by my friend Beverly S.

Favorite Beverage (whether hot or cold): In the mornings, I enjoy strong French roast coffee with heavy cream. Notice the ray of sunlight shining on this morning’s cup. Ahhhh! (I used to be a coffee snob but now I happily drink French roast from Aldi’s.)

(L) Quick snap from my closet. Perhaps I have a blue problem? (R) Office wall.

Favorite Color (and why): I like BLUE: cobalt, aqua, turquoise, teal, you name it. Not sure why, but wearing bright blue (especially when I speak at events) gives me added confidence. Also, my office is painted a robin’s egg blue, and my car is teal.

Favorite Thing You Collect: Dust bunnies? British magazines? 😊 I don’t actively collect anything (except research books) but I am drawn to items with lily-of-the-valley or hummingbirds on them, so if I were going to collect something, I might choose one of those. In the meantime, I have a growing collection of Jane Austen-inspired items from generous friends.

Just a few of the British magazines hubby and I subscribe to, read, and re-read.

  2. Favorite drink at any time is Diet Pepsi.
    Favorite color is purple.
    Collect – at this age and having downsized, we our love of photography, we collect photographs that we take.

  3. Favorite drink – hot tea, love trying many kinds.
    Color – blue and purple
    Collect – I’ve collected many things over the years. I still collect spoons and magnets from places I’ve visited. My refrigerator is covered in magnets. And of course, BOOKS.

  4. So fun to read these!

    I also share your affinity for the color blue. (Yellow is a close second.) My car is also blue but I haven’t brought the color to my walls yet. I like your pale blue idea…and have friends who painted their kitchen/dining/living room a navy blue (with white trim). Food for thought!
