What inspired you to write your book?
My latest book is “Journey of the Heart,” and it’s a vintage romance. It’s set in California wine country right after World War II. When I left the Army and joined my husband in California we used to visit Napa and Sonoma counties often before our firstborn, so the story got the inspiration from those visits.
