The main character in this book is the House itself, who introduces us to each of the guests who made their way to Deep Lake House over the decades. Generations have made their way to the House and like all of my writing, the characters bring with them feelings of hope, sadness, love, disappointment, misunderstanding, breaking up, and making up. The stories span decades with the House sharing the pain and love it has felt for each and every character.
As for my inspiration, this book came about when my husband mentioned something to me that I found interesting (I, unfortunately, do not remember what it is now) but I completely misinterpreted what he said and when I described to him what I was going to write, he was surprised since it wasn't what he was thinking, but thought my idea would make a great collection of stories. As with all of my writing, Deep Lake House became a work of passion. Some who have read it have shared that a couple of the stories have brought out such strong emotions in them that they have cried over the misfortune of the characters. I believe this is what many authors would love to know about the stories they are sharing with the world.
