Lesbian romance is a long way from Christmas in Connecticut...
But
the germ of the idea from the Barbara Stanwyck/Sidney Greenstreet
movie is the same. What do you do when someone calls your, um, mild
bluff about your capabilities? You lie and go on lying until hilarity
ensues, that's what! I enjoyed writing this farce, and dwelling
extensively on my love of chocolate was, well, quite a treat.
Mendocino
is one of my favorite places in Northern California. The food alone
(Mendo Burgers, 955 Ukiah,
Cafe Beaujolais) could
inspire even more books, but the artisan shops, the Headlands's
vista over the rolling Pacific Ocean, the hiking, coastal hills,
brilliant sunny afternoons and quiet fog-choked nights...the whole
area is the stuff of romance and has been very good for my imagination.
MacCallum House generally
inspired the Waterview Inn. -- KK
