Christmas is the time for unconditional love. May your Christmas be filled with the peace of God's love.

Oh, what a glorious morning. Living on Topsail Island is a blessing-always inspiration for writing.

Now that I've gained a thousand pounds (Thanksgiving stuffing and Halloween candy) I could succumb to depression, but instead I've chosen to direct my frustration to a character I'm developing. Yes! I'm working on another book-haven't decided what to call it yet, but as always the setting will be Topsail. Sunrises like this send me searching for words and scenes.

Writing lesson: Close your eyes and imagine who could be viewing this beautiful sunrise and what they could be doing/thinking.  Now, write it down.
