Home is Where Your Heart is
I love my home. I really do. And at 850 square feet for 5 people, it’s what you would call…cozy. But it’s fun cozy. At least that’s what I think. I’m a country girl at heart so my home reflects that. I love cottage details, neutral colors and just about anything shabby chic. My favorite way to decorate is by perusing yard sales. Whenever I find a piece, whether it’s a wooden goose, wire picture frame or rag rug, it’s fun to mix and match with pieces that are both old and new—pieces that have a story.

I mean, all good and useful stuff, but I write historical romance and unless you want to read 300 pages of my hero sorting seeds or darning socks, I needed to expand my research. Problem is, I’m not a guy. Granted girls can do guy stuff–but I just don’t seem to have that magic touch with things that go boom. Not to mention the fact that I’m a total klutz. I could make Bella Swan look like a ballerina. Seriously, I fall down at least once a month. I’m...
Read MoreAuthor Interview with Rosslyn Elliot
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Rosslyn Elliott. She is the author of The Saddler’s Legacy and the second book in the series, Sweeter than Birdsong (Thomas Nelson, 2011), is now available. So let’s dive right in! 1. What interesting facts about the way you write or research might surprise readers? Hmm – maybe that I smile quite frequently when I research, though I’m all alone. It’s such a treasure hunt for me that a good find makes me bubbly and gleeful. And a good find is usually something really odd or quirky! The way I write is very linear, because I...
