A misty morning . . .
Sun setting leaves afire . . .
Then dodging behind bruise-purple clouds . . .
Mysterious, misty Autumn.

Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?
- Vicki Lane
- western NC, United States
- I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors. I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out. As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures. There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Beautiful photos and words. That's a very mysterious-looking house in the last photo...
Very peaceful! That first photo sort of reminds me, oddly enough, of the jungles of Southeast Asia. Brought back a flash of memory of Borneo on a rainy day.
That house looks a little lonely.
That last photograph is really atmospheric.
Thank you Vicki for the exciting parcel waiting for me when I arrived home from my travels. Made my day. I have much to catch up on in blogworld!
Your photos are beautifully mysterious, especially the first one!
Misty,

Your pictures and words always transfix me, Vicki, sometimes making it so hard to leave! So beautiful and relaxing, thank you!
Hello Vicki
Something about that last picture that pulls me in.
Beautiful!
Have a great week end.

Tracy :)
Lovely, Vicki. I haven't been dropping by often enough. Thank you for visiting my Little King. The sun is shining through autumn leaves in my window right now and I'm trying to wake up with another cup of coffee. Have a glorious weekend.
def love the fog as it adds to the mystery....we got sun for a small peak yesterday....lovely views you have
These are some beautiful shots; love the old house in the last one. It looks like a setting for a good story.
These beautiful photos are allowing me to mentally extend my recent vacation in your area. Misty, mysterious and magical.
Lovely!
once again, wonderful pics... you made me imagine how it feels to be there...

Miss Yves said it all!
I like all these delicate colors in the morning.
I can certainly see the mist in your pictures. Lovely muted colours too. How does that little house stop itself merging into the background with all that life around it, I wonder?
Just beautiful. Are you going to tell us a story about the house? Truth or fiction will be just fine.
The countdown is almost over for "Under the Skin!" You must be thrilled.
How lovely it must be to live surrounded by all that nature and soft colour. And yes, the mysterious house certainly looks like it has a story.
Looking forward to the book next week and to our just-about-annual trip to Waynesville. Can't wait to see the mountain views for real, tho I do appreciate your pictures the rest of the year. Something in those mountains just feeds the soul.

I can't tell you how much I yearned to be walking through that first photo...
You are making me SOOOOO homesick for the mountains with all these photos!
Got to get all these greens in the freezer so I can head for the mountains! XO
