Goodreads asked Stacy Mandel Kaplan:

How do you get inspired to write?

Stacy Mandel Kaplan Our FB group, Hey Long Island... Do U Remember....? provides inspiration about the people, places and things that make Long Island such a special place. The memories that are shared by generations of people span decades and are as vast as memories could be. Sometimes it is a restaurant we loved, a carousel ride, a roller rink... the smell of grandma's pasta sauce on the stove on a Sunday in preparation for a big, family dinner... a walk though a park or the thought of delivering newspapers in the snow. All these recollections inspired us to research and write about the Long Island memories that made us who we are today. And that is what Hey Long Island... Do U Remember? is all about!
