Weekend in Napa

victorian_roomLittle Sis’ wedding is coming up and my sisterly duties are starting to kick in. Tonight I fly out to NorCal and then I’ll whisk her away to the Napa Bed and Breakfast Inn for our girly slumber party weekend. It was voted Napa Valley’s Most Romantic Inn, you know. The rooms look so cute!

I’m quite fond of bed and breakfasts, especially the thought of writing in one. Okay, so my dream life is Nora Roberts’ life. Nothing wrong with that. 🙂

Little Sis has generously agreed to help me brainstorm Across the Silk Road. But I’m sure she’s occupied with her wedding. I can’t exploit her just because I’m trapping her in a pink room and feeding her scones, can I?

Oh yes, yes I can.

Blogging at Unusual Historicals about Scandal

This month’s theme at Unusual Historicals is scandal and I couldn’t resist writing Concubine Yang Yuhuan and her tragic love story. She’s one of my muses and she inspired the character of Lady Ling Suyin or Ling Guifei who’s one of two characters that span all three books.
