Happy Wednesday, Inspy Romance Readers! I’m Becky Doughty – thanks for having me. I’m often asked where I get my ideas. Sometimes a story is sparked by a setting, a snippet in the news, or a random anecdote or conversation I overhear. Other times, I cull things from my own experiences and work them over […]
About Valerie Comer
Sunday Edition
Welcome to the last camping trip — er, Sunday — in July! This week’s photos were taken eleven months ago at a little lake on the British Columbia/ Washington border. We’d planned another campout for early July this year, but life happened, so I dug back in my archives for an earlier excursion! I love […]
Sunday Edition
Another weekend in June, Jim and I went camping with his parents, as well as two of his sisters and brothers-in-law. Everyone had their camping units and we practiced social distancing even with some joint meals. It was great to sit outside in the sunshine and catch up on each other’s lives! Winners this Week […]
Guest Post by Kimberly Rae Jordan
A few years ago, I was a regular poster here at Inspy Romance. Unfortunately, I struggled to keep up with the schedule and had to step back from posting. When Valerie approached me about doing a guest post this summer, I was excited to agree! And then promptly began to panic about what to share. […]

One weekend in June, we went camping with our kids and their families. This little squirrel was very busy hauling supplies up this tree. Our old dog watched for a while but he was more interested in what the grandgirls were doing! Winners this Week If you’re a winner, you should have received an email […]
Do You Belong?
Belonging is a recurring theme in my 35+ stories. I could point to one after the other and explain to you why the hero or heroine feels like an outsider in their own life. In some cases, that theme is fairly hidden. In others, it’s super obvious. Take Kenna Johnson in Lavished with Lavender, which […]
Sunday Edition
In June’s Sunday Editions, we took a tour of the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada, from previous years. In July, we’re narrowing down to recent camping trips, still in The Koots! This spot is along Hawkins Creek. Jim and I took our new-to-us travel trailer out for a weekend shakedown cruise to see how […]
CLOSED for the Fourth of July
Happy celebrating to our American friends. We are closed today.
Sunday Edition
Kootenay Lake is the heart of the Canadian Kootenay region, which I’ve been showcasing on Sundays in June. If you’ve known me for a while, you may recall that we’ve had some bad forest-fire summers. This photo was taken during fire season in 2018. Fires do a lot of damage and negatively impact the air […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to the Kootenays, affectionately known as The Koots. As in, “Where do you live?” “In The Koots.” Kootenay is the anglicized name for the local First Nations people who live in British Columbia and Montana/Idaho. Fun fact: the American spelling of the Kootenay River, which winds through both countries, has an i on the […]
