Pepper D Basham has been telling tales ever since she was a little girl. When her grandmother called her a “writer” at the age of ten, Pepper took it as gospel and has enjoyed various types of writing styles ever since. A native of the Blue Ridge Mountains, mom of five, speech-language pathologist, and lover of chocolate, Pepper enjoys sprinkling her native Appalachian culture into her fiction wherever she can. She currently resides in the lovely mountains of Asheville, NC, where she works with kids who have special needs, searches for unique hats, and plots new ways to annoy her wonderful friends at her writing blog, The Writer’s Alley.

This is ME…starting again

You know, I’ve been trying to figure out another way to connect with folks and I realized that one of my favorite things I did early on in my writing was blog.

If you’ve been with me from the beginning, you also know that my blogging was not consistent, but at least it was more than 2x a year.  (Yes, my bad!)

Anyway, I’m thinking of starting posts again and would love your input. What would you like

Sense and Suitability by Pepper Basham
"Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this book!!

Let me just start by saying how much I adored this book.
The book was so reminiscent of Jane Austen's characters and storytelling and the romance was impeccable. I absolutely loved Simon and Emmeline. Their" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Pepper Basham  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It took being forced into unwanted matchmaking for me to discover who I was, what I wanted, and my own perfect match. Isn’t that what we all want down deep? To be seen for who we are, even with all our flaws, and be loved anyway. Completely.”
Pepper D. Basham, Authentically, Izzy: A fun, low-spice, bookish rom-com told through emails, texts, and letters

“Love’s worth being brave, ain’t it? Brave again and again and again.”
Pepper D. Basham, The Heart of the Mountains

“I'm going to be a princess that fights dragons. Ain't no good to sit up in your tower and watch the prince have all the fun.”
Pepper D. Basham, A Twist of Faith

“I will go to my grave in a state of abject endless fascination that we all have the capacity to become emotionally involved with a personality that doesn't exist.”
Berkeley Breathed

“It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good. I don’t like Chinese food, but I don’t write articles trying to prove it doesn’t exist.”
Tina Fey, Bossypants

“Pray that God is the most important thing in your life, so much so that hurting him wold hurt you. When that happens, and your choices line up with his, it produces an amazing ripple effect of blessings--in your life, that of your family, and for the man you eventually marry.”
Julie Lessman, A Passion Denied

“I'm going to be a princess that fights dragons. Ain't no good to sit up in your tower and watch the prince have all the fun.”
Pepper D. Basham, A Twist of Faith

“God holds us. We are protected by His grip in such a precious way that the good and the bad must pass through His fingers to us. No harm, fear, or pain can reach us without His allowance, and yet, it is a loving grip. A loving allowance we cannot understand until time has frayed our pride and tempered our heartbreak. And even then, our only answer may be to trust His love more than our understanding.”
Pepper D. Basham, The Thorn Keeper
