The other day I posted a review for Sarah Sundin's Blue Skies Tomorrow.
In case you didn't read the review . . . I LOVED the book!
Definite must-read.
Anyway. I read a really fun post by Sarah on Lifeway's fiction blog and wanted to pass it along.
Why on earth would a suburban soccer mom be thrilled—ecstatic even—to read the pilot’s manual for the B-17 Flying Fortress?
A story.
The idea for A Distant Melody, the first book in the Wings of Glory series, came to me while I was busy writing contemporary romances. What if a man and woman met at an event, really clicked, but parted before exchanging contact information? Wouldn’t it be romantic if he went through great lengths to find her? It wouldn’t work in a contemporary setting—he’d Google her—but it made a sweet concept for a historical.
I picked World War II. That time period has always fascinated me, and I enjoyed reading fiction set during the war. Also, I thought it would be easy to research because I knew people who lived during the war and I did well in high school history. Please don’t laugh.
That's just the first bit . . . keep reading here.
Brooke - thank you so much for posting this link! I was so honored to visit LifeWay's blog! And I'm thrilled you liked the book :)
