Debut novel: Three Years of Her Life – C.E.Robinson
Photo gallery- sunsets and sunrises from worldwide blogger friends.
Sunset Inn, Kezar Lake, Center Lovell, Maine
1923 – Gustav & Edna Heim (my grandparents) created Sunset Inn & Cottages on the shores of Kezar Lake. Today, it’s part of Quisisana Resort, an adjacent piece of lakefront land. Musical tradition at Quisisana Hotel goes back to 1917. Spenser & Madaline Strauss established the resort as a haven for musicians. And music lovers who played together for their own entertainment. A Quisisana guest, Gustav Heim, served as first trumpeter with symphony orchestras in Boston, Detroit and New York.
Three Years of Her Life, a debut novel is an indelible portrait of family love, trust, commitment, and unrelenting prejudice. A stirring tale that rides the line between historical fiction and romance, inspired by a famous musician’s hidden secret in Germany.

Thank you, Dan for leaving a comment. It was my pleasure to feature you and Maddie for the February blog header. Sunrises are hard to come by, much too early to photograph. I love it when I see one, and yours is perfect through the trees. The radiating rays are beautiful and peaceful. I agree, days start better that way. Christine

Stories are important: As teenager it bugged me that my grandmother’s stories took liberties with facts: now I see she was a great storyteller and embellished for the sake of drama and surprise!
Her name was Karen but she was known as Sissa.
She was neighbor to the greatest Danish Storyteller Isak Dinesen = Karen Blixen ( Out of Africa etc)

Wow, your sunrise/sunset photos are breathtaking, Christine. I’m not an early riser. I take many sunset photos during my travel. I even take sunset photos in the sky from the plane. If I fly during sunset time, I make sure to get a window seat facing west. I have a folder on my computer for all the sunrise/sunset photos. I’ll check out your book later.
