They're all REAL to me, these people I write about.  

Rationally, yes, I know they are fiction.  Figments of my imagination.  

Yet, I follow them through their lives and write down what happens, and sometimes I forget.  

I just wrote a scene for what I'm calling The Heart of a Girl  - the much anticipated sequel to The Guilt of a Sparrow - and I had a moment.  A freak out panic moment.  All because Vincent Berry might move back to Asheville.  

I'm writing a scene between Dominic (the hero of THoaG) and Louisa Berry (Vincent's younger sister), and she said he's thinking about moving back to Asheville.  

Wait!  What?  No.  I love him!

But these things happen.  He'll stay or he'll go.  Which remains to be seen.
