Now for Something Different

I’m very excited. My foray into a completely new genre comes out Monday Dec 2nd. I hope you’ll enjoy my Victorian Christmas romance.

Greyford Parker is eager to see his twin sister and her family, but is dreading the matchmaking marathon she has planned at the two week Christmas party at Castle Winterhaven. As the unexpected Duke of Wallingford he must find a bride. Preferably one with a large dowry to help bolster the estate’s finances his older brother dissipated before his death.

A WEB OF WORDS

I have been watching in amazement as giant spiders weave their webs. It is art in the making. A spider’s creativity is a lot like an author’s. Only we weave with words instead of wispy-looking filaments.

The spider selects a place to start and leaps from the eave to a nearby post or branch hoping it is starting from a solid, sustainable place and that its single gossamer-like thread will hold. The author picks a place to begin and leaps forward with the thread of a plot she hopes will hold s...

My Prayer

God, The world needs you now more than ever. Please be with the victims of Helene’s fury. Comfort those who have lost loved ones and give them peace in their mourning. Give those who survived the wind and water to be faced with overwhelming damage the strength and resilience to tackle the job of restoring their lives to some level of normalcy.

To the people who put their children to bed at night under skies lit up by missiles flying overhead give them the courage necessary to face another day...

Isn’t It Romantic?

My husband is a romantic to the core. Many years ago he surprised me with a three week trip to Europe on Valentine’s day. My first trip abroad. He celebrates with me every year the anniversary of our first impromptu date. (For details on that date check out my blog from August 2018 . https://www.spinningromance.com/2018/08/

He is wonderful to celebrate occasions large and small. But the most romantic thing he does almost daily. He always holds my hand when we’re walking together through parki...

Adam

The church in the tiny Wisconsin town where my nephew grew up was packed with people who loved him and he loved. Most of them were wearing purple—Adam’s favorite color. After the opening prayer and “Amazing Grace”, his brother-in-law honored Adam with words from Psalms and John. He was eulogized with an outpouring of love from his older brother, his two best friends, and his wife of thirteen years. They spoke of Adam’s enigmatic characteristics, his special smile, and not waiting to act on the l...

All Aboard!

Nephew Update: Back in the ICU and still requiring lots of prayerful support. It has been, and will continue to be, a very roller coaster type healing process. It is a miracle he is still with us regardless of what happens next.

As you know, if you have been following me, my husband is a model railroad enthusiast and I am the primary kit construction engineer to bring the towns on his railroad to life. When I’m off being Kim Janine Ligon, Author of Suspenseful romances with happy-ever...

Journey Updates

I have a number of things to tell you. First, I know you have questions about my nephew. He continues to be blessed by miracles born of the constant stream of prayers flowing heavenward on his behalf. He is out of the ICU and in intermediate care. Still lots going on with wounds healing, dialysis, therapy, and feeding tube. He has a long way to go and we don’t know yet where his journey’s end will be. Thank you for your love and prayers. They mean the world to me and my family.

In February ...

The Hope of Spring

I always enjoy Springtime when the buds come out on trees and bulbs push their way up through the dirt to burst into colorful blooms. It is life affirming to me. Hopeful. There is a plan that all of nature follows. Year after year. It reminds me that a higher power than ourselves is keeping everything on course. 

This year, Spring made itself known early. We’ve already had daffodils, tulip trees, forsythia, red buds, and this week, dogwoods, blooming. But I’ve been distracted by events happen...

Warm Feet

I hate having cold feet and this time of year that can be a problem, even in Alabama. Years ago my sister-in-law, Jean, knitted me and her brother wool socks. If you’ve never worn wool socks, especially those lovingly hand made for you, you have no idea of the difference they can make with frozen toes.

I learned to knit when I was nine years old. Jean encouraged me to learn to knit socks. I was hesitant because you do it with three needles like these.

It seemed too daunting to learn, ...
