Does the Mississippi Gulf Coast spark any major story ideas? My late grandparents, many years ago had a motel down by the beach during WWII. They witnessed a lot of history from a homefront perspective.

Hi Michael - Thank you so much for this question. And, yes, the Mississippi Gulf Coast absolutely sparks ideas for stories. This area is teeming with culture and history and lore. I can't imagine the stories you heard from your family. I am working on a WWI story now, which is set in France, but after that publishes next August, I am planning on bringing it back to the south. Perhaps across the Mississippi and Louisiana bayous with a more cajun flair. I can't wait to do that research. Thanks again for your question.

Sarah ?... this isn't a question, but rather a comment. I can hardly believe this is the first novel you've written. I know good writing and an incredible narrative when I read one. YOURS IS THAT! THANK YOU! I loved your story about just an average woman who adores her spouse and children but wants to make the best decision. I can hardly wait for your next novel. You made my day with this one.

Sarah, It was such a pleasure to meet you at the Mississippi Book Festival and hear about Midnight on the Marne. I had to do some research to familiarize with The Great War, but then I was ready to dig in and meet Marcelle and George. Your writing is so fluid and graceful it has the ability to transport the reader to the battlefield and beyond. I enjoyed this book immensely - even though it did make me cry. ?
