Last night Ev and I had our first night alone together in a long time and decided to watch the AD series we’d saved to watch when we got around to it.

We relived the early days following the crucifixion of Christ. We were transported to life under the Romans’ authority, the anguish of the early followers of Jesus as He suffered and died, the anguish of waiting three days to see if their loyalties had been misspent, or indeed,…..

Before beginning this blog, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz_MPtVkiKY to see the book trailer.

Today we will look at the rags to riches beginnings of what would become the Grand Lady Inn, the centerpiece of Whispering Woods Estates. This appears in both Whispering Woods and Winter Wonderland, its in-progress sequel. Here is Cathy’s approach to the main room the week after purchasing the property:

“Armed with a tightly-held skeleton key, foresight, and optimism, I stride purposefully toward the ramshackle 1910 era Victorian farmhouse.

Welcome to Whispering Woods Friday. Those of you who are reading my newly released book, Whispering Woods, will find a post on Fridays about the book, characters, setting, insights into writing, and all things interesting about The Grand Lady Victorian Mansion.

The idea for the book began about two years ago. I was “between books” so to speak, having finished the things I set out to write on my literary journey. I was watching Cedar Cove, the popular show written…..

The Space Coast Writers Guild is preparing an anthology called gratitude. This is the piece I have submitted:

It seems to me we learn to cope with life’s circumstances through facing them with an attitude of gratitude for what we can learn from them.

That being said, when we successfully overcome episodes, crises, or intense situations, upon reflection, we are thankful for the experience because it has: #1 taught us something, #2 resulted in something unexpected, or #3 served a…..

The last stanza of the Star-Spangled Banner. Sing it, pray it, thank God for the men and women who fought for our nation’s independence, for those who defend her freedom, and for those whose purpose is to continue preserving the freedoms others have earned on our behalf. Let us remain vigilant, and most of all grateful that we are Americans!

“Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory…..

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Phil Baxter was a successful young architect and his wife, Catherine, the vice president of an advertising agency and public relations firm in New York. Their futures could not have been brighter until September 11, 2001, when everything changed. The World Trade Center is destroyed, and with the falling of its towers, so falls all Phil and Cathy hold dear.

They must start fresh. Serendipitously, the night before 9/11, Phil attends a presentation that promises a…..

I have reason to celebrate! Many reasons, actually! I have reached the three-quarters of a century mark! Imagine! 75 years old. Where has the time gone?

Hopefully I have created a legacy of positive things. My latest arrived yesterday, my new book, Whispering Woods. Read all about it, and order it, and review it, and purchase my other books so that I can bless you through what I’m writing. That would really make my birthday special!

Ordering information:

I am…..

I am busy writing the sequel to Whispering Woods, my new book about to be released next week. I think I’m even more excited about this second book in the series than the one just being released. It’s very much like expecting a second child, although this will be my seventh book.

Whispering Woods takes a wonderful Christian family and its nanny and her family through the disaster of 9.11 where they lose their businesses, their condo, and their will…..

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” (Psalm 116:15)

God’s word says: “I am your servant, give me discernment that I may understand your statutes. It is time for you to act, O Lord; your law is being broken. Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path…Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law…..

I was just thinking how much I have learned through my writing. The opening page on my phone says: “I write to discover what I know.” Well, I’ve discovered that I need to learn new things as my stories take me places I didn’t even realize interested me. Examples: in It’s a God Thing!, I had to learn about Indonesia, about luxury living in a penthouse near Central Park in New York City, how churches feed hundreds of people a…..
