A lot! My writing has kept me from reading for fun for the last few years, but a few on the top of my list are Art of Romance by Kaye Dacus(finish re-reading it!), The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers, Melanie Dickerson's Imperiled widows series, and I have a bunch of fairytale books I've been wanting to read forever!

Definitely Narnia :) I've always wanted a magic wardrobe that led into a magical world! But, I would probably have to visit the season-based realms in my books as well

I got the idea for my recent work when I was reading a book by John Eldredge that talked a lot about our beauty being lost and the attack against that beauty by Satan and the world. That combined with my love of fairytales started the seed ideas for my series, The Solstice Chronicles. I was intrigued by the idea of having different realms based on the seasons and their equinoxes and solstices and so the first book began and turned into a four book series to follow the seasons. I always loved C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia as well and loved the Biblical elements he wove into his world of fantasy. All this combined into my first three books(the fourth is in progress) and I have taken elements from docent fairytales or myths I see potential for good stories in and weave Biblical elements into them as well
