The world ...I have heard that question posed to me. The world is ripe with story ideas. They're everywhere. I carry a pocket journal with me at all times when I'm out and about to write down things I see or here that might spark a story idea. It's fun having a lively imagination.<br />Great idea for a series with that gun smith shop. All kinds of customers might come to that shop with special Sarah J.

I love hearing from readers, too--there are so many ideas that other people have--it's amazing to think of all the different thoughts and "sparks" of ideas out there that we, ourselves, might never have thought of--but once they're told to us, we take off running with them, and can't get them out of our minds.

The poster was of a couple who were traveling in separate, but parallel taxis in a big city. They were sharing a goodbye kiss (well, that's how I interpreted it).

There was a beautiful Italian villa on the site built back in the 1880's. From that little bit of info came my story Grandview. (yet to be finished and published.)
