Carmen asked LoLo Paige:

What were your inspirations for Alaska Spark?

LoLo Paige Hi Carmen! Thank you for your inquiry about inspiration for Alaska Spark. I was a wildland firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Alaska Fire Service early in my career and had some amazing experiences fighting wildfires. Later I wrote a true story for The Anchorage Press newspaper about my fire crew's narrow escape on an Alaskan fire. My story won an award from the Alaska Press Club and one of the judges suggested I write a novel based on that true event. So I combined real life with fiction, and being a lover of romance I had to write this story! Thanks so much for asking :)
