I actually wrote the first six chapters of this book many years ago. There was no real plan for a novel back then--it was more of a trip down memory lane for me as a lot of the description of Sandy's grandmother's house are really memories of my own grandmother's house. There are a great deal of childhood recollections in between these pages--and the book even includes a recipe for my grandma's chili sauce.
Like the house in the story, my grandma also had a huge pine tree in the front yard, and I have many happy memories of playing under the whispering boughs--making up stories to tell my cousins. I never finished the book back when I started it, and recently found the old manuscript and read through it again. Right away, I knew the rest of the story--and of course, the tree had to be the main character.
Once I knew how I wanted the story to unfold, the rest of the book wrote itself.
There was a great deal of research involved because of the historical events discussed: The Civil War, slavery, The Underground Railroad. But I happen to love doing research. Sometimes I think it's my favorite part of writing. "The Whispering Sentinel" takes you from Ohio, to Michigan, to South Carolina, to Canada.
I would hope that my readers find this book to be inspirational to them. As Sandy struggles to find answers about her house and its past she never knew about, she also searches her own soul and finally comes to the realization that she not only needs to return to the place of her childhood, but she also needs to return to the faith of her childhood.
I hope everyone who reads it will enjoy the story. I had a lot of fun writing it.
