When writing include bits and pieces of your childhood, or a person, or place, that is dear to your heart. A writer will embellish, but there is always a little piece of reality in the story that rings true when it comes to a favorite memory.

I was an avid reader until I started writing. I'd read so many books, I decided to see if I could collect my thoughts and pen them. With "Beauty and the Beast" as my favorite childhood fairy tale, "Gone with the Winds" Rhett and Scarlett as my bar as to capturing a modern day depiction of their personalities, and always wanting to enhance the emotions conveyed in "Bridges of Madison County", I wrote "Madison's Retreat" and gave the setting a North Carolina/South Carolina spin.

Emily Sanders Morton is the sister of Madison Hastings; Madison is the heroine in my first book, "Madison's Retreat". In "Madison's Retreat" Emily's husband Brandon is referred to as a "Sleeping with the Enemy" type of guy. Thus the story of Emily was set in motion.
Note: If you've not read my books, I suggest reading "Madison's Retreat" first.
