Great question!
My father wasn't a very nice person, and I always wondered what it would be like had I had a different dad. I envied those who adored their fathers and wanted to spend time with them. All I ever wanted was to be away from him--as far away as possible.
With this in the back of my mind, my first novel, A Promise of Fireflies deals with this very subject--what if you find out as an adult that the man you thought was your father, wasn't?
It's not a mystery in my own life, because I knew who my father was, but I imagined it differently my entire childhood.
Thanks for the question. I think a lot of writers have things in their past they call upon to add flavor and authenticity to their stories. Don't you think so, too?
CHEERS!
