Wish You Were Here…Algeria Africa

This week is the beginning of an alphabetical journey around the world. I thought I would try to begin with the historical place of Algeria, Africa since it is almost at the top of the list and one of the oldest. It has been populated since approximately 10,000 BC. The natives to this area of [...]

Wish you were here…Pensacola Beach Silken Sands Conference March 16-March18

Today I am going to feature Pensacola and Pensacola Beach in anticipation for the 2012 Silken Sands Conference. There has been a lot of publicity over the last two years about this wonderful beach and the tragic BP oil spill. Today our beaches are beautiful and ready for visitors. The conference is scheduled during one [...]

Wish you were here…Blue Lake, St. Bathans New Zealand and a computer without a Trojan

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. This is going to be short today because I am so flustered with a computer that won’t let me travel the internet to do the research and find the pictures needed to do justice to this beautiful place. Once again this place was [...]

Wish you were here…The Romantic Road in Bavaria Germany

Snow Covered Cabin What could be more perfect for the romance writer to find some inspiration than traveling a road actually called the Romantic Road? I learned of this road when my “smart” phone put up a random picture of a pretty little snow covered cottage and a link to a site about the road. [...]

Wish you were here…Shelby Montana

  Today I thought I would take a virtual journey to Shelby, Montana. Why? The town started as an inspiration for the fictional town in my Golden Heart entry. I needed a small town where everyone knew everyone, a town with a privately run prison and located near the Canadian border.  Luckily, this town served [...]

Wish you were here…Scotland

From “A Magical Christmas Vision”
Who are you?” The question she thought she should be asking is what are you, but somehow that seemed rude. Following her dog forward she had to slow her steps since she was not overly familiar with this area yet.
I will answer both inquiries. My name is Shanus and I am servant of the elf known as Oskoreidi. She realized whoever the voice belonged to must also read minds.
“Why are you here and what do you…wait a minute. Did you say elf?”
She pulled Gregor to a halt. If she were losing her mind it seemed the best place to be was back at the house, not wandering lost and delusional in the woods.

Wish you were here…Liechtenstein

The Prince and Me I spent the last few weeks watching stupid tv shows and movies as well as being force fed a daily dose of latest progress on the upcoming royal wedding in April.  The wedding is sure to be as beautiful and captivating as Princess Diane’s, which I skipped school to watch like most [...]

Wish you were here…The World?

For today’s travel, I thought I would feature “The World” which I saw on the travel channel this past week. For anyone who is not familiar with this ship, it is not your ordinary cruise liner. It is a living community where those with wanderlust and the ability to afford the finest mobile lifestyle can [...]

Wish you were here…Snowdonia

For today’s destination, I chose a spot I came across while researching settings for one of my fantasy/paranormal stories. I have several tied together by reoccurring characters of a fae line. In one the young heroine of the story happens to meet the legendary Welsh goddess Rhiannon, most of us probably know thanks to Fleetwood [...]

Wish you were here…nights of shooting stars

Hoping that this will get my butt in gear to start some serious work on my floundering NaNo story, I am devoting today’s post to not a place but an event…or several events. In the story, two teens with nothing in common start to realize they have feelings for each other while watching a meteor [...]
