Whitney Hamilton's Blog: Firefly - A Civil War Blog - Posts Tagged "lgbtq"

Firefly originated as a stage play back in 1998. It was produced off-broadway by the Oberon Theater Company in New York City in 2001 under the title UNION. We had a three week run under the direction of Emily Tetzlaff and the houses were packed. We got great reviews and there was a promise that the show might move to a bigger theatre and then...9/11 happened and everything stopped. During the run of the show a Literary agent happened to be in the audience. Since I was playing "Henry" onstage, she patiently waited until I was out of costume. She was in tears and said that the story would make a great book and would I consider turning it into a novel. I was a playwright and had never written a novel before but I gave it my best shot and that is how the book was born.
