Origins Part Three

Did you read Origins Part One?  How About Origins Part Two?

No?

Well go ahead and read it, we'll wait.  Take your time, we're in no hurry.

So you're back for more right?  You would like to know where more of the stories from in By The Bay came from right?  Did it stem from something that happened to them 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 month we will share our authors thoughts with you.

I hope you enjoy installment number three!

Big Screen Dreams: Secrets

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?

Jayne Ormerod says she envisions Elizabeth Montgomery as Jean Hollister/Stella Gardner.

Secrets Excerpt

Today we have an excerpt from "Secrets" by Jayne Ormerod.

But first, check out the blurb!

There are no secrets that time doesn’t reveal… That’s a line from a movie that earned Stella Gardner her first Oscar.  Stella’s own secrets harken back to her youth growing up on the eastern peninsula Norfolk, now known as East Beach.

Wow!

Now check out the excerpt.

Author Interview: Jayne Ormerod

Have you met our author Jayne Ormerod?

No?

Well if you click on the AUTHOR INTERVIEW tab you'll find an interview that we did with her.  Each contributing author submitted a question.  It's proving to be very interesting. 

Did you know Jayne adopted her current canine companion from the Portsmouth, Virginia animal shelter.  Vets have told us they think she’s a Norwegian Elkhound (I had to look that breed up, and she does resemble one) but the chances of a pedigree Norwegian Elkhound wondering the streets of Portsmouth? Yeah, I don’t believe it.  So to the best of our knowledge her pedigree is 100% Pound Puppy. Jamaica just celebrated her 15^th birthday (that’s 105 in dog years) and can be seen escorting us around the neighborhood at about 6:30 every morning.

So stop by and check Jayne's answers.
