Keeping in mind my “Person, Place, and Blog” theme for the A to Z blog challenge, I’ll begin this W blog post with PLACE:
W is for Walsingham, England. I used this photo I shot for my header photo:

And here’s two really fantastic PEOPLE who wrote a Wonderful Winner of a book that begins with W…and the setting of the novel is also in England:
Wind Over Troubled Waters by Francene Stanley & Edith Parzefall has been released on April 24! Corn World. Britland. After the great flood, only memories, debris and derelict buildings speak of a past civilization. Visions of these disturbing times haunt Cerridwen’s dreams. When her dying mother sends Cerridwen to find a mural in Saint Eyes and lead Britland into a better future, the young healer has little choice but to set out on a life-changing quest. Her ability to perceive auras convinces her to accept nature-attuned Trevly’s offer of protection.
Bent on adventure and enthralled by the promise of treasure, beautiful Sasha, cunning Aron and uncut Boris join forces to get the most out of life. Their selfish plans collide with Cerridwen’s when they learn about a powerful ring and a mural pointing the way to its location.
I’ll review this book after the A to Z Challenge, but I’ve helped critique this novel and highly recommend it. Francene and Edith are very talented writers. Click to buy it on amazon.com
And for a Winner blog: Glenda Mills. Writing for Hope and Encouragement. A must visit blog. I love her blog. Her photos are fantastic. Her prose is superb. And she and her husband are winners because they’ve been married for 48 years. Happy Wedding Anniversary.
X is next. Hmmm…I’m coming up blank, a big X…We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Holly, you’ve had quite a trip. I have so enjoyed your beautiful pictures and thoughts you’ve posted over the last couple of weeks. Are you still traveling or home by now? I also wanted to say thanks for sharing my blog with others and your kind words.
Glenda, we went to Walsingham about two years ago. But we did travel this week to Seattle and then to Albuquerque, so it’s been a busy few weeks. Three weeks ago we went to Connecticut. Glad to be home. I love your blog. I have another comment on mine, here, from Becky, who really liked your blog, too
Holly,
Don’t you think time adds a greater perspective and joy To past travels? You wrote as if it was yesterday…a Mark of a great writer. Thanks for sharing, your photos and writing, and even those you direct my way. God bless!
Beautiful photos. What a beautiful place to visit in the spring.
Lovely photos. I’ve shared some travel photos during my A to Z challenge too. This is my first time in the challenge and I’ve been a bit behind. I hope in May I can catch up. Just a few more days.
It’s definitely been a challenge. We’ve been traveling quite a bit this month, too.
I just went over to Glenda Mills blog – wow. What a blessing. Thanks for sharing her site. Praying that today brings good news for you and your family!
What a lovely looking place. It’s like going back in time.

Beautiful photos. I just love England!
Oh WOW! That place is absolutely beautiful! I want to live there! and congrats to the winners!
I want to live there too. It’s so beautiful!
Thanks so much for featuring our book, Holly, and in the perfect setting, too! England will look far less romantic though in our fictional future, two hundred years from now.
Your welcome Edith. I’ll give you a full book review as soon as I finish the A to Z blog and can read it. BTW, I got more than 200 hits on my blog yesterday, so hopefully your book will have gotten some attention
