Tropical Storm Ophelia is visiting me this weekend. I love the rain and wind (and it’s not terrible — 30, 35 miles per hour at its strongest). It’s good weather for lounging on the couch and reading. Or snuggling a boy and watching TV. Or a little of both. My boys were supposed to be […]

Here in Virginia, the leaves are just starting to change color — it’s been so lovely to watch our forest and see the subtle shifts from morning to morning as the cooler evening temperatures start to do their work on the trees. Are you seeing any color changes where you are? Winners this Week If […]

Unusual Hobbies
Once upon a time… It’s how all the best stories start, right? Or maybe, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Or maybe you want to do the Wayne’s World wavy lines and wiggle. However you get there, imagine if you will, 1989. A young nerdy girl in the summer between middle […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to September! We’ve been getting a tiny taste of fall weather here in the Northern Virginia area. Highs have been in the low to mid 80s. There’s been a nice breeze. Evenings are getting cool. Mornings are crisp. I know we’ll get another month, possibly six weeks, of hot and humid before we settle […]
Love Never Goes Out of Style
One of the things I love about romance novels is that they’re reasonably timeless. It really is a tale as old as time, isn’t it? Boy meets girl. She smiles. His heart races. He makes a move. Or she does. Maybe they both do. They fall in love, face hardship, overcome it stronger than ever. […]
Sunday Edition
I don’t know if where you are has been unseasonably warm this past week like the DC area, but man, that flamingo floatie looks like the best thing going right now. Every day, we’ve had heat advisories. Of course, this was the week our church did VBS. The kids didn’t mind all that much — […]
Sunday Edition
Around here, we’re starting to see back-to-school ads and deals popping up. I’ve seen some Facebook friends whose kids have already gone back to school (!) and others who are gearing up for the pre-school tax-free day. There’s something about this time of year that I just love. I identify so strongly with Meg Ryan’s […]
Sunday Edition
I can’t believe we’re past the half-way point for July! (Or we’re right at it, I guess, depending on how you want to deal with the fact that you can’t divide 31 equally by 2.) I’ve started prepping supplies for back to school with my boys. And we’re hard at work on the InspyRomance admin […]
Write What You Know
Some of the tried and true advice out there in the world is “write what you know.” I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how much I believe in that as a statement, although I can make a case that what I don’t know, I can learn, and then I can write about it. And I […]
