The Story Behind... Bear Hugs

Bear Hugs cover

Bear Hugs demanded to be written. The story exploded in my head and wouldn't stop bugging me until I wrote it down. One day I was talking to my best friend on the phone. She told me about a non-fiction book she'd just read, Letters to Jenny by Piers Anthony. I told her I could write a romance around the idea of someone famous doing something special to bring a child out of a coma. The next day the story came knocking and wouldn't let me concentrate on the book I was trying to read.

The side light to the tale of Bear Hugs creation is another quirk of fate. I was asked to present the Friend of E-Publishing Award at the 2003 EPIC conference. The friend EPIC honored that night was Piers Anthony. I had always wanted to tell him his wonderful book inspired mine. It was a dream come true.
