Random trivia

Okay, this might be harder…yesterday's snippet, Nessa had a book.  It was inspired by an actual book.  The guy on the cover, at least.  I read it while I was working on Hunter's Fall.

It's not so much the character from this book, but the way he was kind of depicted on the cover that set Nessa off.

Anybody wanna take a guess at what book?  The author, maybe? (No, it's not me.)
