Valerie: Hi Lauren! Welcome to Inspy Romance. Our eager romance fans would love to get to know you a bit. Let’s start with some Quick Fives, okay? Lauren (leans forward): Yes! Let’s do it. Valerie: Five favorite foods? Lauren: Hamburgers, French fries, fried chicken, pizza, and ice cream. Valerie: Um… wow. How did you get […]
Sunday Edition
Seeing porpoises, orcas, seals, otters, and humpback whales was the highlight of our trip to BC’s Sunshine Coast. We saw humpbacks on three different occasions, but the most spectacular was on the boat ride back from Desolation Sound (see previous weeks’ Sunday Editions!) when our guide gave us the scenic tour and we came upon […]
Sunday Edition
The waters of Desolation Sound are very sheltered, which results in nearly glassy reflections and utmost peacefulness. The only manmade sounds were the lodge boats coming and going and the generator kicking in in the background. Otherwise, we chatted with the other guests and listened to the calls of loons, ducks, and geese, watched fish […]
Sunday Edition
After a few days entertaining ourselves along the coast, we caught a water taxi to Homfray Lodge, a 90-minute boat ride up into an area called Desolation Sound. It is aptly named — far from “civilization” for sure! We shared the lodge with an older couple from Denmark, Erica Terpstra and her Dutch film crew […]
Cowboys, Christmas, and Second Chances
Ranches aren’t so different from farms, right? A few more horses and cows, a few less sheep and chickens. Still country living near small towns. Still wide open spaces instead of back alleys. Still the smells of nature rather than exhaust fumes. Still romance. Just add cowboys. Stir. Enjoy. I’ve been toying with a cowboy […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia! My husband and I spent a lovely vacation there in September, so I’ll be sharing some of my photos with you over the next few Sundays. This was a new area for me! Although on the mainland, the Sunshine Coast is only accessible by ferry (or air […]
Hello — My name is Kassidy #giveaway
Hi, everyone! I’m Kassidy North, and I’m blogging here today for my author, Valerie Comer. She figures I owe her the favor because she’s been working on my happily-ever-after for over four years. I didn’t know I needed one. A happily-ever-after, I mean. Also, she says she’s too busy to blog. Like I have all […]
What does Flavors of Forever even mean?
Does eternity have a taste, let alone multiple ones? Is infinity the same thing as forever? Are everlasting and eternal synonyms? These are the questions that wake me up at five in the morning — trust me, it’s not my alarm clock. I prefer to not even know that there is such a thing as […]
Sunday Edition
It’s been a pleasure showing you Western Canada in Sunday Editions in June and July. This is the last week I’ll be your hostess for a while, and so I wanted to share our local scenery here in southeastern British Columbia. My husband and I, along with our ten-year-old Black Lab cross, Brody, spent a […]
Sunday Edition
The Canadian province of Saskatchewan is known as the Land of Living Skies, so I want to show you a few of the sky photos I took on our recent visit. As you might recall, I live in British Columbia, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and forests. These make my heart happy! But, because of the […]
