Thanks for the condolences. I'm on the ...Jill,<br /><br />Thanks for the condolences. I'm on the plane to Colorado for the funeral as I write this.<br />It's so nice to hear about your similar experiences in country life. I don't think anyone can understand or appreciate why it sticks with you and how much you learn from it unless you have spent time doing 'real' chores and the responsibilities that go with that. I love the hiding in the cornfields! Good memories! <br /><br />I do use the stories my aunts, uncles and grandmother told. My family sees it in my books and love it;)<br /><br />And I definatley think you should take another trip to England, it's research after all ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-64405022150037915292012-03-03T19:02:20.737-08:002012-03-03T19:02:20.737-08:00Beth,
I'm so sorry you've lost another Gra...Beth,<br />I'm so sorry you've lost another Grandmother. Keep them close in your heart. And maybe some of the things you learned from them you can put in your novels. Maybe you already do.<br /><br />I grew up on a farm and learned to work hard from a young age. There were fun times though. Hiding in the corn when it grew high in the fields was a great way to scare cousins and they always got me back. :) I learned a lot about horses and love using horses in my novels as well as other animals.<br /><br />Also, I spent time in England during my senior of college. This is where my Regency novels take place and that helps with my current writing needs. I'm desperate for another chance to visit though, but that's highly unlikely. Maybe some time in the future.<br />Blessings,<br />JillJillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.com
