Chesapeake Bay Living Begins

It's another lovely day in the Chesapeake Bay area, but maybe you're not from this area.  So we're going to start up a series talking/sharing the different things from this area.  I hope you'll enjoy it.

Plein Air Artist

Spring is in the air and the artists are out in East Beach.  We've had some really lovely weather as of late, perfect for painting.

In case you're wondering, this is what plein air looks like.  I know it gave me a much better understanding of what parts of Plein Mysterious might look like.  Pretty cool, right?

Just another beautiful weekend in the East Beach community.

But wait!  There's more.

Gina Warren Buzby at East Beach Art Festival

There was also an Art Festival going on in East Beach when I went to see if I could grab some photos of these artists hard at work.

Who did I stumble across?  Our own author, Gina Warren Buzby!   She even had a spot set up to sell the book.

What a wonderful day!

Origins Part One

Have you ever wondered where the ideas for the stories came from for By The Bay?  Did it stem from something that happened to our authors or was it just a creative idea?

Well wonder no more!  Our wonderful author, Jenny Sparks, came up with a great idea.  Why not share how we came up with our stories.  

So, over the course of the next month we will share our authors thoughts with you.

I hope you enjoy!

Big Screen Dreams: Plein Mysterious

So once again we get to peek inside our author's head to see who they would cast as their characters if their story was made into a movie.  Be it big screen or a made for TV movie.  That's right we dream big here.

Everyone envisions a character differently, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what our authors were seeing in their mind's eye when they wrote their story?  So here's our chance!

And please feel free to comment below on who you 'saw' this character as.  Does your idea of who the character looks like go with who the author envisions?

Gina Warren Buzby told us that she envisions Lizzie Warren being played by Blake Lively and Detective Addison played by Ryan Reynolds.
