What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My book was inspired by real life people. But I must clarify. These “Tidbits,” of real-life people who inspired me, were so small or incidental, but when I applied my “what-if” moments were the “wow” moment that made my fingers tap out the story on my laptop, and then at that “quiet” moment where my muse enters became the bases for my story. For example, there are a couple of realistic elements in the story that happened to those real people, that I knew at a point in time. However, with that said, that or those incidents that inspired me, those tidbits, where blown OUT of proportion by my muse who inspired me and my story. Therefore, my story is not one person’s story. In addition, many of these real-life people, have, passed from this life. But for the most part, my books are totally fictional.
