Video review for The Guest by B.A. Paris! This is a secular cozy mystery.

Martin Luther King Day

I hope all of you had an amazing week.

It’s Martin Luther King Day. This is a day to stop and reflect on all that MLK accomplished for civil rights in America. He used non-violent means to further the rights for people of color. Happy heavenly birthday Dr. King!

We had more snow yesterday! Here’s a ​short video​ – apologies for the background noise. My son was watching TV in the living room while I filmed this on my phone! I love snow!

The Blacksmith’s Bride

I’m still writing ​The Blacksmith’s Bride​ – a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith’s Bride is the third book in the ​Romance Bride Series​. Whenever I write a book, especially a historical, I must do tons of research. Benjamin, one of the main characters, is of mixed ancestry – the term for his heritage – used during that time – was quadroon. Philadelphia, where my story is set, had a large Black population. Sometimes, within the African-American communities, a caste system was formed where people who had lighter skin were seen as having a higher status than those with darker complexions.

Benjamin is a blacksmith and this job requires a lot of hard, physical labor. I’m having fun learning new things as I write my novel.

I encourage all of you to ​preorder a copy​!

Snow!

We’re in the midst of a massive snowstorm in Maryland! We don’t get snow very often – so when we get a lot – it’s a BIG deal! Most schools and offices are closed. My son had a dentist appointment this morning and the doc called last night to cancel. Here’s a pic of me standing in the snow this morning:

Here’s a video of the snow falling. Isn’t it pretty? I’m glad that my Christmas lights were still up!

Christmas Tree

I hope all of you are enjoying your holiday season! Have you put up your Christmas tree? If so, I’d love to see a picture of it!

We haven’t put up a tree since our son lost interest – which happened several years ago.

I had the urge for a tree, but didn’t want a big one. I bought a small inexpensive tree from Amazon and hung some lights from our bedroom window!

Our son finished his exams last Friday – so he’s HOME for winter break!
