Throwback Thursday


In 2001's Do You Hear What I Hear? the heroine's daughter is hearing impaired. That was my Easter Egg in the book. The first bio I ever read was Helen Keller's. I spent part of a school year learning braille, and later took some ASL classes.  I loved being able to incorporate that into a book!

Teaser Tuesday…Books from Christmas in Cupid Falls


Christmas in Cupid Falls

#‎TeaserTuesday‬ Christmas in Cupid Falls
Here's another ‪#‎EasterEgg‬ from the new book. I'll confess, the GLH books I mention I remember from grandmother's. They sat on her shelf in the hall. Later, they sat on Mom's shelf. These days, they're on my shelf. They're fragile and brittle with age, but I think of Mom and Nana every time I look at them.

Grace Livingston Hill
Teaser:<<She dusted and couldn’t help but run her fingers along old favorites. They were all old hardbacks. Grace Livingston Hill was Aunt Betty’s favorite. The copies were old and the slipcovers were yellow, but she remembered reading The Spicebox and Miranda. L. M. Montgomery’s Green Gables books. Louisa May Alcott. Gene Stratton-Porter. She pulled out A Girl of the Limberlost. Oh, how she’d loved that book.
Gene Stratton-Porter & LM Montgomery
Yes, the books would stay. She’d found comfort in them when she’d first come to live here. And they felt like old friends on the shelf.>>
