There is just the slightest hint of Spring in the air here in Maine. The weather has been positively balmy- over 40 degrees for a couple of days in a row. The dogs aren’t thrilled, because the snow in the front yard has melted into an ice rink and games of Fetch and Chase are on hiatus until it either melts completely or snows again for better footing.

There is a lot of indoor fun, reading, and writing, and Hall-Fetch happening in the mornings here in the house. Here are some of the things I’ve been reading lately:

Heart Of Shards

A Day Of Three Parts

Hello dear hearts, Today is March the 1st. In Wales, that’s St David’s Day. Basically, school children dress up in traditional Welsh costumes, and we’re supposed to eat cawl (a Welsh soup) and picer y man (Welsh cakes). We wear a daffodil, and just enjoy and appreciate being Welsh…

Thinking About March

I’m spending some time this morning thinking about March—and planning for it. First of all, I love early spring. It’s wet and muddy in Pennsylvania, and still cold. But it does mean that summer is coming and I love summer. And it means that winter is on its way out, the days are going to be longer soon, and there’s an end in sight for the snow…

Supernatural: The Musical

Hi, Friends! I’m coming off of a bad illness this weekend, and I’m still not at 100%.

And, here are some things I’m listening to as I write. As you can tell from my previous post, Setting the Stage, I love YouTube’s ambient music library. You can find so many wonderful compositions for any mood or style of reading and writing. This week I discovered The Enchanted Forest, Volume 3. This music is magical and ethereal, lending itself well to background inspiration for fantasy writing, or meditation of the goddess variety.

If you don’t like to write or read to music, here is a lovely choice: Cozy Rainy Library with Fireplace.

And, just because I love me some Shire:

I hope you enjoy all these tasty treats! Let me know what you think of my choices! I’ll write again soon with more Verity and a release date for Paranormal Times!

Cheers!
