This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "It's May. Do certain flowers or scents inspire you? Tell us how."
Flowers absolutely inspire me--in so many ways. Of course many scents evoke memories, and those memories find their way into stories all the time.
The smell of Cecil Brunner roses takes me back to the years when my children were young and we had a HUGE rose bush in our back yard, and I helped my daughter create a hideout underneath the canes. Which in turn sparked memories from my own childhood--mostly books I had read. Various Rumer Godden books and Jean George's My Side of the Mountain series.
Lavender recalls the tiny little farmers market in Cayucos where I first tasted lavender lemonade. I can't count the number of books that's appeared in!
Jasmine reminds me of sitting in the grass on my college campus, reading a book under a tree with a cup of tea, while waiting to listen to Robin Morgan read from her latest work.
I've always loved daffodils and they inspired me to write a poem about them.
Now, hop on over to Jenna Da Sie's page to learn what scents inspire her.
IT’S RELEASE DAY!Que Será, Syrah
POUR DECISIONS, BOOK THREE
It’s not every day that you and your sisters inherit a winery. I should be on top of the world, floating on Cloud Wine, as they say. Instead, I’m about to make some of the biggest mistakes of my life. And that’s saying something.
Complicating my quest to redeem myself, earn my sisters’ respect, and help them turn our winery into a straight fire success, is my low-key relationship with Sheriff’s Deputy Clay Romero. Sure, there are risks involved in sleeping with the enemy, but ‘what’s meant to be will find a way,’ right?
