In reply to Patricia. As you can probably guess, Patricia, the name coincidence wasn't exactly that! I too like to make up stories based on what I see traveling. My favorite game is making up stories about the people I see around me, like in restaurants and stores. My hubby and I can keep ourselves amused for hours! It probably helps to have been told to make up games with cardboard boxes and old bedsheets when I was a kid! Yvonne

In reply to Jessi Gage. Thanks Jessi! Ideas on how to express emotion or a sense are all around us, I find. And Flynn is a master at being VERY expressive! :-) Yvonne

In reply to Loucinda McGary.

Thanks Cindy! I’ve come to rely on my cell phone to take pictures of ideas I find inspiring, a notebook that’s with me always to capture words, and adventures to bring me new things! I’m looking forward to the new book as well – both Marlee and Jake have their dark secrets! Yvonne

Ah yes – inspiration comes from everywhere. I often find that traveling for long periods of time in a car, bus, plane, etc., but especially ground travel, inspires me to wonder what happened here 100 years ago, 200 years ago, 300. I try to visualize what people wore, ate, looked like. Sometimes I think up whole stories in those few passing moments. And of course working for a family law attorney provides some excellent fodder for books.

I love that your dog’s name is Flynn and coincidentally so are your books. Hmmmm.

What a fun post, Yvonne! Inspirations really do come from everywhere. I know mine do also, and I never quite know when and how they will strike, but it is always gratifying when they do.

Can’t wait to read the latest in your Flynn’s Crossing series!
