LOL! I lead a very unexciting life at the moment but in my earlier years my husband and I lived in other countries such as Chile and Africa. Though I've used the Chilean flavor in some of my stories like "I'm No Angel" and "The Surrogate's Secret", I've not yet used my experiences in Guinea in a plot. It could be done but I'm just not sure others would find it as interesting as I did. It's one of those - you have to have been there to appreciate it - kind of situations.
You've heard the old saying - life is stranger than fiction? Well, I get a lot of my character's personalities from the people around me - it's the conflicts that come from my imagination, Global news and watching cop shows on TV.

Wow, you have got a lot of books, Mimi. Funny you should live in Vancouver, my husband and I just moved to Alberta, Edmonton Alberta and I love it here. Trouble is we could use a book club or a gathering of authors. Do you have any advice on starting something like this? Meanwhile I will visit your writer's page. Sounds like fun.
