Donna Grant and Virginia Deberry Spotlight
Two of my favorite authors, Donna Grant and Virginia DeBerry, are guest blogging over on the White Readers Meet Black Authors blog.
A question we are asked all the time, maybe second only to, “How do you write TOGETHER?” is “Where do you get your ideas?” We suspect ours come from the same place most writers mine for story—EVERYWHERE. Inspiration can begin with a conversation overheard in line at the supermarket, observing a couple in a restaurant, recalling a childhood experience, watching a news story where you know there’s another side—maybe even three or four that are not being told. Wherever you have people interacting, or not interacting, the potential for plot lines and characters exists. Everyday circumstances become a jumping off point and when we leap we don’t always know where we’ll land. Often not where we expected.

Hi Sheila. Yes I ordered my advance copy of the book in January. I also a FB Fan of Donna Grant and Virginia Deberry and posted on their wall.
I love this team. I absolutely do. It reminds me of a wonderful female performing group. It’s amazing to be able to depend on another person or to be so close to each other, you can identify each other’s varying styles. I dig that. I have added this on my TRL. Yup. how exciting.
