Origins Part One

Have you ever wondered where the ideas for the stories came from for By The Bay?  Did it stem from something that happened to our authors or was it just a creative idea?

Well wonder no more!  Our wonderful author, Jenny Sparks, came up with a great idea.  Why not share how we came up with our stories.  

So, over the course of the next month we will share our authors thoughts with you.

I hope you enjoy!

Big Screen Dreams: Second Chances

So once again we get to peek inside our author's head to see who they would cast as their characters if their story was made into a movie.  Be it big screen or a made for TV movie.  That's right we dream big here.

Everyone envisions a character differently, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what our authors were seeing in their mind's eye when they wrote their story?  So here's our chance!

And please feel free to comment below on who you 'saw' this character as.  Does your idea of who the character looks like go with who the author envisions?

Michelle Davenport envisions Rick Moranis as Rick Dandes and Jewel Staite as his loving wife Anna.  Dorothy Dandes would be played by Betty White and Stella would be played by Lauren Cohan.

Of course Stella's convertible would have to be a white 1990 Mazda Miata.  And Michelle's hoping that she'd get to keep the car.
