Re: The Wine Seekers

What a sweet wish for your readers! I'll look for The Wine Seekers. If your book evokes good wine and Italy, I'm definitely going to read it)

Funny how so much of our life
revolves around food. Special meals
with family and friends. Those special
places you find when you are
traveling. We made a 250 mile detour
on a trip to go back to a really good
homemade ice cream parlor in Maine.
We found a wonderful winery in
central Tennessee. We can usually find
a reason once a year to head that way
and buy a case. We enjoy the trip and
have at least 12 good meals with good
wine, and even better company.

Of course, authors put a little of themselves in their characters; it's a little like having children!

I've asked author this very question before and many do say they base their characters on people they know or a conglomeration of people.

I would think some of an author's
characters would be what they wished
they could be or do.
