My ideas often start with a “snapshot” as well. I applaud you for having the courage to cut that first image, but I’m sure it will stay with you forever. Congratulations and I look forward to reading The Lost Girls!

Hi Other Heather — Thank you for this comment, and I hope you enjoy the book. I also hope your transition from legal writing to fiction writing was/is easier than mine! Worth it, and totally fun, but damn, it was harder than I thought it would be! 🙂

Loved hearing how your novel began with an image and so wild that the image doesn’t appear in the final version. Congratulations on your novel! I look forward to reading it.
