Please keep in mind that a lot of authors are solely on Amazon (for many reasons). You're free to purchase anywhere, but many of us earn only from this platform. Thanks for reading my Ellie McLellan Genealogy Mystery Series! www.amazon.com/stores/Beth-...

Played hooky this morning and went for a meander around the property. There's nothing like Mother Nature to ground you and make your smile. I will never take this for granted. Being able to breath clean air is a blessing. The mosquitoes ... that's another story!

Sometimes Mother Nature throws you a delightful morning view. When I came upon the duck, I stood for a minute enjoying the scene, then grabbed my camera to record it. Because some mornings aren't as lovely, and I might need a reminder that they will be so again! Hope you all have a good one.

True! I could look at them for inspiration, but considering my map is fictional, I'll see what I need for the story. Thanks!

I'm heading into a new aspect of writing my fiction novels - learning to draw a map of Percyville for my latest book. Even though I've got a rough sketch, I want to make something interesting, sized properly, and interesting to look at.

Wish me luck!

Writing genealogy mysteries means getting the history right! I spend a lot of time digging into old records, newspapers, and court documents to make sure the details in my books are as accurate as possible. I found a story about a missing heir who didn't want to be found. Idea for a future book?

Fascinating real-life discoveries have found their way into my books. I heard about a family who inherited a locked trunk that hadn’t been opened in decades. Inside, were letters revealing a long-lost love story. That idea became the foundation for one of my plots!
What have you discovered?
