The inspiration to write Beyond The Pond came from actual events and visitors to my own backyard pond. When my first grandson was born, I wanted to pass along the secrets of Pinecone Pond to him. After all, I already had most of my characters -- I just gave them voices on a page.

I wanted to incorporate a Christian message into the story, so the gospel is discussed between several of the characters, including one who has been around since The Beginning.

“Trust, But Verify...Ronald Reagan”
Ronald Reagan, Quotations from President Ron

“There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears a Human soul.”
Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems
