How Much Longer?
When I was a little girl, my sister and I used to have a “Countdown until Christmas” calendar posted on the refrigerator. Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, we’d mark off the days using a red magic marker. The time seemed to pass so slow, neither of us were known for our patience. I’d like to […]
The “What ifs” of Life
Playing the “what if” game is one of the things I love most about being a writer. I believe it’s one of the most powerful tools in our toolbox. Reading newspapers and magazine articles and asking “what if” can spark a host of story ideas. People watching and asking “what if” is a way I […]
CAN A GIRL HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS?
We here at Inspy Romance are like family, right? Well, I have a confession. I hope you won’t think differently of me. I’m a hoarder…of books. Not only are my bookshelves and tabletops stacked with books to read, but also my Kindle could crash any moment from the massive amount of pre-loaded treasures. I’ve been […]
Soda Shops and Bobby Socks
I was a teenager in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. During that time the television show “Happy Days” was popular. For those who aren’t familiar with the show, it was an American sitcom revolving around a teenage boy, Richie Cunningham, and his family and friends. Richie was the all-American wholesome young man. Any parent […]

The Good Ole Days
For a child, summertime is all about making memories. Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., one of my fondest memories was the bookmobile. Twice a month a library on wheels rolled into the neighborhood. I still remember the wallop of arctic air that hit me as soon as I climbed aboard. It was […]
The Value of Laughter
There’s nothing sweeter than the sound of children laughing. For me, it triggers memories of the carefree days when my schedule wasn’t overbooked and there were no bills to pay. When my biggest decision was what kind of ice cream treat I should buy from the ice cream truck that frequented my neighborhood on the […]
The Return of the Hummers
Apart from the warmer temperatures, my favorite thing about spring is the much anticipated return of our hummingbirds. Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I love my hummers. I’ve been known to spend several hours outside, dressed in red shorts and a red t-shirt, next to the feeder, in order to […]
Head-Spinning Blessings
Have you ever had something happen and you knew without a doubt, it was all God? You know an Amos 9:13 kind of thing. That’s exactly what happened last year when on a last-minute whim, I entered Harlequin’s Blurb to Book Contest. In 2010, I entered the National Novel Writing Month Contest, otherwise known as […]
