The small history behind COLORS IN THE DARK
A blogger asked me recently what prompted me to write COLORS IN THE DARK. So, I thought I'd share it with you:
First of all, like most authors, stories live in your head waiting to be given life. Sometimes something as simple as a song will inspire a story. And that's partly how the book came about.
One of my favorite songs sung by Eric Clapton is I SHOT THE SHERIFF. For years, every time the song would come on the radio, an entire scene would play in my head. I thought, that would make a really good story one day. So, I finally sat down and wrote COLORS IN THE DARK. If you like I SHOT THE SHERIFF, and if, by chance, you get a copy of my book, when you get to Sweet Tea, Miss., you'll see a part of that song come alive.
And that's what's so exciting about being an author. Besides just loving the art of writing, all it takes is a song, or something someone says, and a small seed of a story begins to generate in your vivid imagination until it eventually grows into a published book.
I also would like to proudly mention that my first Kindle suspense novel, CAUSE SHE'S A GOOD GIRL, was featured on a popular, local morning talk show, "Talk of the Town", and given a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Bookman and Bookwoman. I am soooo proud of that:)
I thank all of you for taking this journey with me....
Okay, so if you remember from my last post, I'm searching for the perfect, delectable chocolate pie recipe. I found one, made it, and well, it was good. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 6. But that's because I made it. So, I'm thinking if I keep working on it, then it will reach a 10.
Making a chocolate pie isn't rocket science, right? Eggs, milk, sugar, flour, chocolate. But it's the quality of chocolate, or cocoa powder, you use that makes all the difference. Ah, that's the secret:)
