Inspired By History
I have been in love with literature for so long, in love with writers that bring music and mood to the written word. That is what gave birth to Olivia, I’m sure. It is just something about the Victorian Age that mesmerized me with all that atmosphere – fog and mist, tophats and hints of the supernatural.
My own southern history inspired me to write southern fiction but always being a Yankee at heart. My old country houses under Birch and Willow trees were the inspiration for my women’s fiction. The theater, of course, inspired my novel, Faith Among Friends and At the End of a Whisper, which will be published soon. I think we find what inspires us in life and then we absorb it, internalize it and are held captive by it forever.
