While writing
is hard work, some characters make it fun, too. When I wrote the book STUART, I
thought him a perfect match for the woman I had in mind. You might recall that
I think of my characters as friends who come to life in my books.
Georgina
Potter of Baltimore, Maryland received hurtful treatment from her family. From
the time her younger sister Virginia could walk, she demanded whatever Georgina
had. Their parents doted on Virginia and allowed her to have what she desired.
While
they praised Virginia, Mrs. Potter continually criticized Georgina for herchoice
of clothes, her blond hairstyle, her
failing to be as graceful and popular as her sister. Of course her feelings
were hurt, but she hid her pain. That is, until Virginia stole Georgina’s fiancé.
Their marriage sealed Georgina’s determination to escape Baltimore before the
couple returned from their honeymoon—even if it meant marrying a stranger as a
mail-order-bride.
Georgina
left for Colorado vowing to make a success of the life awaiting her. When she
arrived, her groom did not meet the stage. After learning he was in the saloon,
she strode to the swinging doors. Of all things, she found the man who had sent
for her had recently married a saloon girl. Jilted again! Her temper boiled
over with sarcastic remarks. When the saloon girl grabbed Georgina’s hair, she
retaliated and the fight became a doozy.
The
sheriff marched both women to jail and fined each $50.00. The saloon girl’s
husband immediately paid her fine. Georgina only has $1.33, so she stayed stuck
in jail. She refused to wire her parents
for money. What would happen to her?
Join the
fun as bachelor Stuart takles fatherhood with a baby he rescued.
