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 […]
Book Recommendation – That’s Amore: That’s Love by Marion Ueckermann

Travel the World – by Book! And a #giveaway
