Things That Make You Go “Ahhhh…”

You don’t have to be a horse lover to appreciate beautiful scenes like this, I know I certainly did and its one of the things that made me want to set my book Once In A Blue Kentucky Moon in a place just like this.

This kind of beauty can have a real power over people, inspiring them, particularly when threatened with the loss of their land and family home.

In Once In A Blue Kentucky Moon, the spell-binding beauty of these scenes at Lockwood Farm makes Blake want to fight to save the farm that means so much to him and his siblings – his father’s proud legacy to them all.

Beautiful Lockwood Farm is the home and hearth of the Harrison family.  Whether they still live there as Blake does, or not, sooner or later, it draws them back.  When the place you grew up is as beautiful as this, you just can’t help yourself.

Creating an authentic thoroughbred farm such as Lockwood Farm, entailed lots of reading and research, and of course, ogling lots of pictures like the one above – a real labour of love.  In fact, over the course of writing about it, bit by bit Lockwood Farm wove its magic spell over me, making me fall in love with it, just like the Harrisons.

I hope you’ll fall in love with it too.
