Living in South America is an adventure and I never want to forget what it was like to experience and adapt to a new culture.
Common writing advice is to write what you know. Well, while I don't have any experience with solving murders (outside of reading other mystery books, thank goodness!), I do know my little part of Ecuador and how the life and the people here have influenced me. I love it and I wanted to share it with readers who might like it too. (less)

The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”
Usually just sitting down and placing my fingers over my keyboard works, but on the rare occasions it doesn't, this is my next favorite quote: “You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” -- Jack London
Some days inspiration flows and some days it plays hard-to-get, but I make sure I'm always ready (bucket and baseball bat in hand ... because I like to come prepared!).

Ree is starting Dangerous When Wet: August Audiobook of the Month in the Pride and Prejudice Variation Audiobooks group (Facebook).
Once Upon a Compromise by Jennifer Joy
"I laughed all through reading

The subtitle should be Mr Darcy's consternation. I thoroughly enjoyed this as I do all of Jennifer Joy's books. Mrs Bennet was great fun. "
Once Upon a Compromise by Jennifer Joy
"Once Upon a Compromise

Lovely variation demonstrating how to woo a maid. I was so happy to see Darcy show his kindness to everyone."
Once Upon a Compromise by Jennifer Joy
"Perfectly Wonderful

Darcy didn't think being compromised could be so unexpectedly enjoyable. No demands of marrying? Of course, he had behaved as a true gentleman, but he was so eligible! No demands? Not the first time, nor the more scandalous second?" Read more of this review »
