guest blogger strikes again!
Darlene Gardner here. I'm back to tell you about something very cool that happened to me yesterday while taking a guided tour of the Kennedy Center with my sister and her family. For those of you who haven't been there, that's the very impressive performing arts center in Washington, D.C.When we stepped from the concert hall into the grand foyer, I realized that I was taking the same path as my characters had in my current book! A TIME TO FORGIVE features two scenes at the Kennedy Center, and I'd forgotten that until halfway through the tour when I saw the three-ton bust of JFK. Publishing moves very slowly. Even though my book is on the shelves now, I've written another book and started yet another since I finished it.
I'd been to the Kennedy Center numerous times before, but never on a tour. When I wrote the scenes, I refreshed my memory by taking the virtual tour available on the center's website. The coolest part was when the tour guide, who'd overheard me remark to my sister that I'd set scenes in my book in the Kennedy Center, asked me for the book title so she could read it. Sure hope I got everything right!
