Guest Post at Literarily Speaking Blog (Where Did My Muse Take Me?)

Did you ever wonder where the nugget of an idea for a book begins within the author's mind?  If so, please pop over to the Literarily Speaking Blog and find out how Sea Turtle Summer came to me.



I've had the privilege of visiting this blog previously, and it is always a pleasure.  I'll share a few lines of my guest post:

Sea Turtle Summer came to me, not on a glorious beach with glimmering white sand, but in a stark utilitarian hospital room. Talk about being led by your muse. She had to work wonders with this one.

Sea Turtle Summer may be purchased at Amazon.com, barnes & noble.com, Guardian Angel Publishing, and if you want an autographed copy, from my web or blog sites.

Interview Today at Literalily Speaking Blog

Please visit the great blog, Literalily Speaking, today!  We will discuss how my picture book, One Pelican at a Time, was published, from idea to finished product.  This really is, as the blog calls it, "The Story Behind the Book."

We will discuss such things as:  What does Bella have to do with a sand heart?  What was very personal to me in writing this book?  How was Pelican an unintended consequence of a global disaster?

Britt, Bella, Mr. Pelican and I hope to see you at this terrific blog!
