What Places Have Inspired You?

Happy Memorial Day!

I enjoy learning about history and using it to give my worlds some depth. I’ve gotten into doing tours. In October, I did a walking tour of haunted spots in New York. The city is far more haunted than I expected.

Last week, I did a trolley tour of Green-Wood Cemetery. If you follow this blog, you’ll know how much I love that cemetery. You can feel the history. It has some old graves. Many of the tombstones and mausoleums are works of art.

  • Hold On

You wonder why you can’t desire a normal job when you have tons of bills and no money- when you read articles about how much published authors make (it’s tragic.) Dreams may not seem logical. Achieving them won’t always be fun but regret will eat you inside out for years. If…

  • Winter Inspiration

    My least favorite season was winter. There’s no escaping the cold and then the snow…the snow turns a 3 hour train ride into a 6 hour nightmare. It messes up roads. It turns sidewalks into ice slides. But, the snow is starting to grow on me. Until this year, I hadn’t played in it since…
