For my upcoming historical, I got the idea after my dad gave me a book from the 1800s by a scientist on a journey through South America looking for new species. From there, my hero was born and the story evolved from there. Great post, Jen. I'm looking forward to reading both books!Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-19757114063361470972013-11-27T22:14:08.269-05:002013-11-27T22:14:08.269-05:00That's really sweet, Deb.

I want to 'go inside and look around.'<br /><br />I'm excited about Vinnie's Diner too. It's especially gratifying when a story that means so much to a writer is published. Debra E.

My birth mom had always prayed I'd come looking for her and my birth father just assumed I would. They were both thrilled that I found them. My mom could hardly wait to meet me somewhere and my dad's first words over the phone were "what took you so long?"<br />I joke that I don't have a family tree, but DebHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685506948995225770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-50107977277507946432013-11-27T13:50:24.444-05:002013-11-27T13:50:24.444-05:00Deb, thank you for sharing that with us.
