I am joining Dan Antion over at https://nofacilities.com/ where he runs a series called Thursday Doors. This is what he has to say:
Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time).
Dan writes great books too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BC23MDLV
Today I want to share some of the amazing doors I found in Malta. Most of the buildings in Malta are made from limeston, but the doors are often in bright colours breaking up the monotone buildings. I was fascinated by the variety of doors and doorknockers. Here are just a few pictures I took around the island.
You might recall that Amanda had quite the adventure in Malta.

A writer friend of mine, Christa Polkinhorn, recently posted a picture tour of her latest book, The Italian Sister, which I thought was a great idea. Check out her blog, and her wonderful books that take place in interesting places. christa-polkinhorn.blogspot.com
This prompted me to think about how my pictures have inspired me while writing my Amanda books. Visiting the United Arab Emirates was a dream come true for me as well as for Amanda. So here are some photos that inspired my first book, Amanda in Arabia-The Perfume Flask
The perfume flask Amanda buys in a shop called Aladdin´s Treasures
The very desert in the United Arab Emirates where Amanda gets lost.
Amanda also visits the rugged UAE mountains with friends
Amanda can´t get over the silly goats in the trees!
She is intrigued by the painted doors and gates
and she fell in love with the camels, especially Ali Baba!
What have I been up to lately?
As you can see, I have been very busy finishing the next Amanda travel adventure book.
