The Inspiration Behind Memory Lane

One of the questions I get asked the most about my books is this one . . . . “What was your inspiration for this novel?”

It’s a wonderful question! I liken that first bolt of inspiration to the initial strand of a spider’s web. Over time, I build on that initial strand, adding more and more, words and scenes, settings and characters, until the book as a whole becomes a complex, large, and intricate thing. There have been times when I’ve had a hard time remembering (once the book is finished) what my initial “strand” of inspiration was!

I do recall what it was for Memory Lane, so here’s me sharing my inspiration via a brief video:

I published the above video on Instagram yesterday where I’m currently sitting at 9,992 followers. Wow! Just a few more and I’ll hit the big 10K milestone. All that to say, if you’re on Instagram, I’d love for you to follow me HERE.

My family is leaving this Saturday for a vacation in Utah! I’ll share highlight photos here when I return.

Whether you’re setting out on a vacation, returning from one, or spending time at home, I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful summer (and lots of great books)!
