The news on TV the day this story popped into my head was all about the worst in people -- bigotry, heartlessness, selfishness, hate, cruelty and more. I was under a full head of steam when I wrote it. A bit of indignation goes a long way.Rose Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429566802562925080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903719451434423563.post-50518459074892558622014-07-21T05:40:43.080-05:002014-07-21T05:40:43.080-05:00Thank you, Heather. :)Thank you, Heather. :)Rose Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429566802562925080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903719451434423563.post-90649559118783054552014-07-21T03:59:08.260-05:002014-07-21T03:59:08.260-05:00That was a wonderfully written scene.

They love commercials) That particular day it was all about who couldn't get married, who didn't have control over their lives, greed, politics, etc, and suddenly it occurred to me the suffragettes were fighting for many of the same things 100 years ago and here it was still happening. I wrote both books in this series in 10 days. I have more books planned. I guess I have opinions!Rose Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429566802562925080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903719451434423563.post-832491311411402802014-07-20T09:12:11.535-05:002014-07-20T09:12:11.535-05:00I love historical fiction and how interesting to b...I love historical fiction and how interesting to base it on modern times.
