This week on Romance Weekly, Betty Bolte  says our surroundings influence our mood and view of the world as much as setting in any story. What is the view outside our window, or what would we like the view to be?

Beyond my suburban window is  a large lawn with evergreen and dogwood trees.  I wouldn’t be happy as a city dweller and although I’d love to live in the country, I’m spoiled by the convenience of the grocery store.

The view from my house is nice, but I’d love to win the lottery and have coffee in the mornings gazing out at the ocean.  Then again if I won the lottery, I’d be able see many views via a fancy RV!

Have a great Thanksgiving! Hope you  already visited Kristi Rose  and will now hop on over to Leslie Hachtel.

My current release is on sale for $.99 at all major e-book retailers. Something to warm you up after a cold day of Black Friday shopping!
