New inspirational spots Brandt Dodson's The Mighty M go here to see Brandt Dodson's site. Brandt is fast becoming one of my favorite author's. If you're interested in sort of dark police procedurals shadowed in hope, you need to get his books. The other new author is Lisa Wingate. Here are Three of Lisa's Inspirations! this beautiful spot is in her back pasture. Her web site is here. I discovered Lisa's writing at a resort in Mexico...her books are made to make us feel good.

(Click on the tab above titled ‘Writer's Inspirational Spots’ to see the other generous author's submissions.  Descriptions state whose spot the photo depicts. Hope it's not confusing.)

Stephen and Janet Bly find inspiration out doors where they can walk and talk and think and just be. Stephen and Janet Bly

Kristen Billerbeck has a huge following of her lit books. She finds inspiration at the beach, (I believe this one is the setting of her next book) and also from her home office, where she can see the city and remember she is home.  Check her cute site out at  Kristen Billerbeck's site.

Then suspense writer Brandilyn Collins sends two pictures. A day and gorgeous night shot of the view from her deck and home office in Idaho. She writes some pretty scary stuff…I’m guessing she renews by reflecting on God’s handiwork right outside her door. Her site is Brandilyn Collins site.

Next is Jane Porter. She writes that the Canadian Rockies are among her favorite places and finds great inspiration in Alberta, Canada at Banff. (Jane writes a variety of genres but the one I read and re-read is her modern lit...it's excellent. Flirting with Forty, Odd Mom Out and Perfect Mom are among my favorite reads.) You can visit her here: www.JanePorter.com

Deb Raney is the owner of the second picture - she currently writes the Claybourn series published by Simon Schuster. Excellent family drama in these stories. She finds inspiration in her own yard, on her patio and regrets it will soon be too chilly to work here. Check out Deb Raney's website she is a spectacular sister in the Lord and I am so blessed to know her.

Jim Rubart has an unusual spot..he's letting us in on a secret. Check out the four pictures leading the way to his secret room!

Linda Windsor email accompanying her photograph, was very moving. As you might know she lost her dear Jim a few years ago. Linda is very upfront and open with her feelings and thoughts..which is why I love her so much! Here is a clip which I have permission to share with you.

I recall watching a seagull tackle a meal of starfish. Jim had brought me here because I was down. The seagull was undaunted by the size of a meal he couldn't swallow. Instead he pecked and pecked at its center until the starfish was divided into five sections, each of which he then swallowed. It reminded me that I can't tackle life all at once, but if I persevere like the gull, I can hack it into pieces that I can handle. It takes will and faith to keep trying. What a lesson Jim and I shared that day.

Linda can be found at her site Linda Windsor

It's been fun getting to know the writer's better. I appreciate those who answered my call for pictures! You all rock.

God's blessing to you and yours. And don't forget to be thankful...in all things.
