Cornelia Amiri was introduced through books to the woman who became her favorite historical character, Boudica. The Celtic Warrior Queen made her start writing professionally. Cornelia loves history and in reading a book about the dark ages, she came across the rebel queen, who inspired Cornelia so much, she started jotting down notes, but they were fiction, visions of her involved in the Boudica revolt. Before Cornelia knew it, she’d accidentally written a rough draft for a novel. And she’s been writing books on purpose ever since. Drawing on her love of a happy ending, Cornelia has written over 40 published romance books.

National 143 Day — I Love You, Fred Rogers

Today is May 23rd which if you didn’t know, and you may not have, is Fred Rogers’ 143 Day. To Fred Rogers, the number 143 was code for ‘I love you’.

It’s said that one day when Fred Rogers stepped on his scale, it read 143 pounds. And he was careful to not do anything that would make his weight change. Each morning, his bathroom scale read 143 pounds. And Mister Rogers came to see the number as a Read more of this blog post »

Kelly Hi Cornelia!

I cannot remember, did I request you as a friend? Or is the other way around. It does not matter either way, but I was just curious.

I have to say that A Fine Cauldron of Fish looks very interesting to me, but that might be the Irish flavor of your fiction that hangs about. I have not yet found any books of yours at the library, but I know there might be a few on order. If not they had better get their butts moving!

K.L.

And thanks for being my friend on here! Appreciated.
