I then came up with the character of Tru when I was traveling in Africa. There is a mailbox, well known to locals as “Kindred Spirit,” that sits out on a secluded stretch of coastline - it’s a place where passersby fill a journal with their thoughts, fears, and dreams - and while it has a rich history all its own, what has stayed with me all these years is the romantic notion of a lonely mailbox in the middle of nowhere filled with handwritten notes of love, loss, and hope. The first bit of inspiration was a familiar destination in my home state of North Carolina. In less than a week, my new novel, Every Breath, will be on store shelves! Right now, I’d like to share with you a little behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration for this book, which came from two very separate places.
