WELCOME TO L.L. LEE'S NEW BLOG

A BLOG THAT DISCUSSES L.L. LEE'S BOOKS. ALL OF THE NOVELS HAVE STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS. SOME OF THE BOOKS SUCH AS THOSE IN THE SISTERS SERIES ARE HUMOROUS. OTHERS, LIKE JUDE'S BENCH OR A BENCH ON THE BEACH ARE MORE SERIOUS. AND IN SENIOR CAMP 2035, THE WOMEN PROTAGONISTS FACE HORROR WITH BRAVERY AND DETERMINATION IN DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

Remember the lines, "What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live?" And the words, "I believe in love."
I've been thinking a lot about this life lately, wondering what it's all about, and coming to the conclusion that it's all about love. That's why there's more than romance in my novels. There is also much love in my books. Books that I hope reflect life.
In fact, if you really think about it, life is only about love. Or should be. Love for parents, mates, children, grandchildren, friends. Love for pets as well as wildlife. Love of home, of community, of special retreats. Love for the beautiful birds, nature, the river, lakes, beaches, mountains. Love for the rain and the snow and the sunshine. Love for work,  hobbies, books, movies, art. Love for gardens, for trees and the fruit that comes from some of them. Love for flowers and the peace that their beauty yields. I could go on and on.
So what prompted this sudden outpouring about love and of my love for this life?
I do believe in love. At this moment I especially believe in my love for a wonderful hundred year old nun who can still move me with her love for life and for me. Thanks Aunt Mina. I loved talking with you today. And, I love you.
