What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Adventures of Pete The Squirrel – In The House is based on a real-life, honest-to-goodness friendship that I developed with a Squirrel named Pete. I was impressed with Pete's creativity, determination and ingenuity – especially when he was in pursuit of his favorite treat – walnuts. And, yes Pete really did find a way into my house. I've always been fascinated with animals. I currently have Montana a rescue German Sheppard and 3 rescue kitties: Emily, Julian and Emerson and had many growing up: goldfish, turtles, birds, rabbits, dogs and cats. I have discovered there is so much to learn by observing our animal friends and want to share my discoveries with you!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I think in this situation, Pete The Squirrel, came up with me! I noticed him watching me carefully when I ate breakfast outside. After many weeks, Pete would come down from his tree, slowly at first, then as we became more familiar to each other, with greater speed. By that time he knew I had his favorite treat with me and of course, he wanted to nibble on that.
