One of my favorite quotes from You May Kiss the Bride. I must say, I’m very fond of my spunky heroine Livia.

My motto, as a witer of historical romance. :)

These seem like excellent words with which to kick off one’s week. Happy Monday!

Spring. My front yard. Thinking of Anne Lamott: “I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.”

I thought you might like to see my Twitter header. It has one of my all-time favorite quotes on it. (An especially apt one for a romance writer.)

Also, I love the font, even though the commas look sort of like jumbo cashews.

Are you on Twitter also? Let’s connect!

I love this.

Happy Monday! No, this is not an oxymoron.

Nina Cosford made this. I love it for all kinds of reasons, not least of which is that I loved word searches when I was a kid.

More about Nina and her journey of self-discovery here.

Oh my gosh, do I love this image. Tales not yet told; characters not yet conjured into existence; love not yet found, fought for, and won . . .

A few days ago, in BookPage, Kristan Higgins published a beautiful essay, “Why Do We Crave a Happily Ever After?” I liked it so much I made a little infographic with a quote from it — like a badge you’d pin onto your blouse. :)
