One of the things I like about writer Barbara Watson's Novel and Nouveau blog is that she keeps posts concise and to the point. With so many sites to keep up with these days, it's nice to know that when I pop in here, I'll get an interesting, focussed tidbit in a manageable size.
One of her regular features is Marvelous Middle Grade Monday for which Barbara recently reviewed The Luck of the Buttons. Lucky me. She also asked me to write a guest post about the process of writing the book. It got me thinking about where characters come from, which got me thinking about my dear Grandma B. I pulled out a photo of her and was surprised to find how much she looks like the picture that ended up on the cover of the book. Click over and have a look!
