Do you have a favorite spot
to read or write? Here’s a picture of my writing space.
And my somewhat negligent muse, Auggie Doggie.
I spend so much time in this room, thought I
would share. The plaque says, “Don’t piss
off the fairies” and it’s one of my treasures. When I was writing the Unbidden
Magic young adult series, I began delving into the history and lore of fairies
and found the perfect match for my protagonist, Allie Emerson. Allie lives in travel
trailer surrounded by apple orchards. In my research, I discovered the magic
island of Avalon is another name for the Isle of Apples. This gave me a
connection to Allie’s mortal and fairy world, so I was off and running. I
thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent describing Allie’s adventures in both
worlds.
My other treasure, MARILEE,
carved in wood, was a gift from a high school volleyball team I coached. It has
been on my desk for years and reminds me of a very special time in my life.
Do you have special mementos in
your work space or a favorite place to read or write?
