What inspired you to write this book?
Back when I was in grad school in the early 1990’s, I watched General Hospital almost every day, and I was a huge fan of one couple in particular (Kevin & Lucy). A couple of years ago, when I needed a pair of supporting characters for my novel “Her Brother’s Keeper” to help/cause trouble for the heroine, I created a couple modelled on Kevin and Lucy, and they were a blast to write for.
So I finally realized they needed a book all their own, and the result is “The Queen of Emerald Falls.” It’s the story of how they became a couple, as told after the fact to their daughter on her 21st birthday, so it uses the same story structure as “How I Met Your Mother” (which I didn’t realize until I was more than halfway through the book!).
