I had heard about Coinneach MacLeod, mostly because I automatically 'click' concerning other authors... especially Scottish authors. Imagine my surprise when my son returned from the Ashville (NC) Celtic Festival and presented me with an autographed copy of his book The Hebridean Baker.

I Discovered a Baking Scot... Coinneach MacLeod

Daffodils? Can Spring be Far Behind?
My husband called out to me... "Something wonderful has happened in our yard!" This was a few days before Valentine's Day 2024. Daffodils had bloomed! We have been watching snow storms on the news and our own morning temperatures have been in the 30's, but life goes on.
He cut a few and we delivered them to my mom so she could enjoy them for Valentine's Day. What inspires me is that these plants came with the house and have been slowly multiplying over the last sixteen years since we left New Hampshire and bought our lovely home in Raleigh, North Carolina. Until the weather is a little bit warmer, do what I do...
Spring is on the way. I have plans to replace a dripping faucet, paint some worn trim, replace knobs on my old kitchen cabinets, and fill more boxes to donate away to worthy groups. What will you do when you realize the days are getting longer?
As a woman who faced many medical issues
in the previous year, take my advice:
DO NOT WASTE A MINUTE!

A New Year, A New Way of Writing
While I take time off from writing my next book, I am diving into my family genealogy. I am still searching for that percentage of me that Ancestry.com claims is from Scotland. In the meantime, I am shredding old papers, packing up items to donate, and sharing Proverbs. Comments welcome!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from Nancy Lee Badger
Chilly temps, flooding, snow drifts... whatever the weather you are experiencing, my wish for you is a quiet, colorful week followed by the enjoyment of the last few days of 2023.
Many of my readers are aware that 2023 was hard for me (eye surgery, two Emergency Room visits, two overnight stays due to trauma and then heart surgery) so I am looking forward to an uneventful 2024.
I have had three vaccines since August (RSV, FLU, and Covid) so am hoping the pin-cushion days end soon, too. We all must decide what is best for US.I am working on the family ancestry to make sure the next generation sees the strong, wonderful people we come from.
I want to continue with my writing and look forward to reading more. What will you be looking forward to next year?
P.S. Congrats to Joy I., the winner of my $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!
Happy Holidays ad a very happy NEW YEAR!

There is Still Time to Buy Books!
"Santa is on his way," we hear kids say but I am looking forward to many other 'adult-themed' things. December 22st is called the Winter Equinox and is the shortest day of the year. What does that mean to me? The days start getting longer on December 23rd!
The other thing I look forward to is sitting with my cat in front of the decorated mantel with a fire blazing.
While the weather turns blustery, I will also find time to read books. Print books are great, but my phone and I are happy to sit and use apps to bring ebooks to life. As my gift to you, I have greatly reduced the price of many of my holiday-themed ebooks including...
Heading out on his horse, Ghost, into the snowy
Highlands of Scotland in January 1817 was not sane, but Bryce Ketteridge would
never let down his friends. If a duke, an earl, and a former spy felt finding
the owners of nobleman's rings was important, he would do his share. Coming
across masked bandits, and shooting one, turned his life on end. What follows
was not in his plans.
Ebook Reg. Price: $7.99 (US)
SALE: $5.99 (US)
