Lilac Hill

Publishing through Salt Water Media of Berlin, Maryland in April 2014.

Many thanks to readers including Amber S, Ashley, Kim, Mom, Ms. Martin and the Cooper Betas.

Sarah and her sister were inspired by my grandmother and Aunt Helen who were another pair of contrasting women--both strong in their own way. One blonde like Juliet and the other darker like Sarah. The male protagonist Walt was patterned off Uncle Harry who protected, coddled and loved his family all his life.

I would love to hear all of them singing "On a Chinese Honeymoon" or "Paperdoll" again.

Enjoy a sample from Finding Home At Lilac Hill in the next post.
