GUEST POST WITH SASHA DAWN

Behind the scenes

·         Elijah Breshock is a talented marine mechanic. This never comes into play in the book.

·         John Fogel shares a last name with a friend who died too soon. Miss you, JF!

·         This book began as a reincarnation tale.  My agent and I pulled the entire thread out, and to my surprise, it worked!

·         The labyrinth behind the Church of the Holy Promise was inspired by the labyrinth at Sacred Heart Cathedral in San Francisco.

·         The poetry Callie writes is taken directly from my poetry notebooks, which I’ve kept since I was a teenager.

·         The underlying theme of faith plays with the piece in one of two ways, depending on what you believe in: Greek mythology or Christian dogma

 ·         There really is a Lake Nippersink in northern Illinois

·         Callie is not doing well in French class. That’s why her French is poorly spoken.

·         Lindsey has not always been an only child. She had a sibling who died of SIDS when she was a toddler. The Hutches don’t discuss it, but it’s a subconscious reason Lindsey and Callie are drawn to one another.

·         The Lehmann Library is named for one of the first families to settle in a town near me.

·         Elijah has a criminal record, but only because he took the fall for his friends when they borrowed a boat for a joyride.

·         Warren Ewing didn’t want to take Callie’s case, but she’d already been assigned to two other social workers, who didn’t work well.

·         Detective Guidry is patterned after a detective I observed while he was on the witness stand during a murder trial. I was in the jury box at the time.

·         If Callie were to try her hand at sports, she’d rock at volleyball.

                                        ·         Lindsey designs her own t-shirts.
