Spring has nearly sprung! After a very snowy season out west during which I felt I was living in a snowglobe, March is nearly here and I’m packing for some fun events and also family time. Kentucky in spring is such a beautiful place {all those dogwoods} and I’m so happy to call it home.
I’ll be spending time with friends and family as well as enjoying DAR – Daughters of the American Revolution – events including the state conference. It’s always a joy to talk books wherever I am. I’ll be traveling to Nashville and then Mammoth Cave, two favorite spots. I’ll also be working on novel 11 & 12 at home, enjoying some porch time if the weather turns warmer.
I’m especially excited to attend a culinary workshop at Fort Boonesborough, preparing and then enjoying an 18th-century feast. Photos to come!
Hope your start of spring is bright!

We just went to Kentucky, visited Murray on the west side. I liked it a lot, but very wet; but hey, better than snow. Do you have any recommendations for small towns in the mid to west part of the state? We are from Illinois and are one of the many seeking to relocate because of the taxes and politics, and abortion laws (as taxpayers, we have to pay for abortions). Looking for a smaller town with a charming old down town, friendly people. We are retired.
Dear Linda, Thank you for stopping by here and also for visiting my home state! We’ve had a wild weather year with so much rain. Sometimes I think Seattle moved south đŸ™‚ I understand the issues and desire or need to relocate. We’ve lived in WA State and KY for several years going back and forth. WA is much more expensive than KY. Personally I am in Berea and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a small college town that doesn’t change much yet the areas around it like Richmond, KY are growing fast. Berea is in central KY and right off the major interstate I-75. Property and homes are inexpensive and many are for sale or foreclosure. Anything around the Berea-Lancaster-Richmond-Mt. Vernon area is my pick. Maybe it will appeal to you, too. Some wonderful churches here, too, and Berea is called the arts and crafts capital of KY. Again, thank you for stopping here and I hope this helps. Ky welcomes you!
