Okay, today's 3 facts about A Question of Honor . . .
1.) While in the writing/editing process of the book, I was able to meet and talk to three WWII veterans. The stories they told were just --- wow. They are so humble, so casual about what they did . . . but their sacrifice for our freedom was just... very eye-opening.
2.) David's last name was, at one time, Anderson. It got changed because a dear friend of mine was also writing a WWII story, and her character's last name was Anderson. Seriously, it's crazy how many names we unintentionally have alike in our stories... I think the last count was somewhere close to twenty shared names.
3.) In the first draft, Gil and Lily lived in England. That was changed, because I wanted a stronger friendship/brother relationship between David and Gil. ;)
