Endorsed by the Key West Arts and Historical Society

Susan Blackmon has enjoyed reading historical novels all her life. With a talent for writing it was only natural for her to try her hand at creating one of her own. All that was missing was inspiration. An unexpected cruise ship detour to Key West and a few history tours later, Max and Abby’s story began.

When Susan isn’t working full-time and writing part-time, she enjoys being with her family, hiking waterfalls, reading and scrapbooking.

My first book idea came from the Key West shipwreck museum. The idea for the series came from the Trolley Tour. Songs that inspired Salvaged Love are Every Rose has its Thorn by Poison, Kiss you all Over by Exile, and Dance with Me by Orleans. Songs for Love Again are Passenger's Let Her Go and Nickleback's Far Away which puts me right into Theodore's frame of mind.

But the real magic is when the characters bring the inspiration. I was writing a scene between Max and Abby and he pulls out his father's pocket watch I didn't know anything about until that moment as I was writing. (less)

OMGosh First draft is done!

Finally! Henry and Emily's story is written. Now I just have to make it better with more emotion, more description, plumping it up with more everything. But the base is there.

The warmer weather we had this week proved a catalyst for writing. Solid proof my happy, creative place is on my screened in porch. Even though I had to bundle up to be out there, I got an amazing amount done. One day even hi Read more of this blog post »
