Do you ever wonder where authors get their ideas? Today I share the story behind the story for my novella Beauty Bright in the We Three Kings collection that releases in September 2023. It's a story that's near to my heart because it's set in the days after WWII in Germany and involves the Monuments Men. It also ties to my contemporary series that launches in April 2024. I loved writing in this collection and returning to my WWII roots. I hope you enjoy seeing and hearing some of my passion for the story and the research that goes into writing a book like this. Have you read a book set in the days immediately after the war? One set in the race to return the art to those who had lost it? I'd love to know if topics and settings like this intrigue you because I'm always thinking about what I'm writing next.
