The Story Behind This Book
What was your inspiration for writing Blood Line? For inspiration, some have to look far afield, but I only had to look at my family. We're a cornucopia of personality disorders ranging from the mildly mentally distraught to the supreme narcissist. We're dysfunctional, and some of us divorced multiple times over, but we share a common bond—our past. It's in that history, coupled with a pinch of the present, that I find my inspiration. To be more specific, my wife and her immeasurable talents, proves beyond a shadow of doubt that women should rule the world. My daughter, thankfully, is her mother’s heir apparent, and is blessed with many of the same talents and gifts as her female forebears. Then there are the grandmothers on each side of the family. Each effortlessly led the way by succeeding in academics, and in one case as a professional entertainer. Yes, she was in the USO. As for the men, well, I'll begin and end with the two mentioned in the book. My grandfather was a world-class golfer and has a place in the both the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame and the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. His spirit lives on in the many memories I carry with me daily. As for Uncle John, he was a full-blooded Indian married to my grandfather’s sister. I remember him being a sweet man, though his size might lead one to think otherwise. That’s been my inspiration, the people I knew best.
