Goodreads asked Phil Miller:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Phil Miller In addition to what I've already said above, my friend Carol Crawford asked whether the people from different backgrounds in my story would meet. I chose to answer yes to this question but needed to make the intersection credible. Sometimes doing this required planning, but in at least one instance, two women in the book met in a way that was utterly surprising to me though quite logical.

Regarding my first book, when I arrived as a newcomer to the Chattahoochee Forest, I was filled with wonder and curiosity. As I thought about how to share my discoveries, the idea of conversations between a little boy and his Grandpa came to mind. The book first took the form of weekly blog posts with 3 or 4 color, digital photos each. I edited these into a format suited for an inexpensive, user-friendly book adults and children can enjoy together.
