Sarah Baughman:
Where did you get the inspiration for your novel?

Like in so much that I do (housework, sewing projects, knitting or crochet projects...need I go on?), I start thinking as I work and that can be dangerous, as then I think of other, similar things I'd like to do.
That's how Penelope's Hope came to be.
I started writing Violet's Daybreak (book 2 of Regency Silhouettes) about seven or eight years ago. That was back before we had all four of our kiddos (just two at the time). As I wrote about Violet's friend, Penelope, and Violet's brother, Ash (though he had a different name back then), I started to think about Penelope's story and how it needed to be told. And so Penelope's Hope was born!
The artist component was inspired by my daughter, M, who is ten and loves all forms of art -- she is constantly drawing, painting, writing stories, singing, and even puts on little plays at home with her brothers for the hubby and me. :)
