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.

My latest post was full of sunset shots, and then it occurred to me that I never even sent one of them to my favorite Sunset Page. So I decided that rather than send you one, I would just drop you a link and let you pick any that you had a fancy to…or none (since you already have a Vancouver sunset in your collection). You never know, this whole comment might have simply been a well-crafted plot to talk to you. Lol.

David, WOW…I just looked at the link! Those sunsets are extraordinary! Sent you a comment on that post of my two favorites! I will definitely put relaxing with the sinking sun and nearly gone on the Welcome Page! My next idea is to feature one of those sunsets with a mini-bio of you with photos for a month long feature on the Welcome Page. Your sunset would be the new header! I’m getting a lot of visitors with this feature and in turn it promotes the photographer/blogger! All good! Right now I have Tess (Cut the Crap blog) interested in sending me a sunset. Not sure when she’ll have one ready. But, I have yours ready to go for either February or March. Glad you thought of a well-crafted plot to talk! Happy Thursday! Elizabeth (aka Chryssa)
