Welcome to day #2! I hope y'all are having a quiet, relaxing Sunday. I'm going to spend the afternoon finishing up last minute things for the release. Can you believe it's only three days away?!
Today I thought I'd share some trivia about the book. I always find it fun to learn new things about my favorite books and I thought you guys might as well!
-In the first scene of chapter 1, a character takes a drink of coffee from a disposable cup. It took me nearly three hours of research to make sure disposable cups were actually used during the time period.
-This is the first book I've written where I've included an interaction with a real-life person.
-While it's one of the shorter books I've written, it's the one that's taken me the longest to write.
-Clay Walker is one of my favorite country artists, and while I didn't originally intend for a character to share his name ... I can't say I'm mad about it. XD
-Flying and medical are my two favorite things ever. (Big surprise there, ehh?) But while it's fairly easy for me to write medical characters, pilots are difficult because I have no experience flying a plane. And in Clay's case there's not much info on Marine aviators during WWII, so that made research extra difficult.
Also, remember to check today's post! As a part of the tour, Kate is posting her review of Untitled.

I really enjoyed hearing some trivia about your book. :)
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you enjoyed them! I had fun thinking of facts to include. XD
DeleteThe disposable cup thing is killing me X’D also 1) I adore said interaction and 2) my mom saw the synopsis and has not stopped talking about it being Clay Walker X’D
ReplyDeleteOkay but for real it’s like the tiniest historical details that drive me insane because IT MUST BE ACCURATE! XD
DeleteHaha I decided to listen to Clay Walker today while writing the blog post because it just fits.
Research can be so tough! When I was writing my short story I had to research crayons! I mean, who does that?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading the entire book!
I feel you! It’s like the randomest things that are important but it’s so hard to find any information on!
DeleteAlso, quick question about the giveaway. Does it refresh everyday?...That's what it looked like to me.
ReplyDeleteThere are some daily options if that’s what you mean...?
DeleteYour new book looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like to think it is. XD
DeleteI love these facts :D
ReplyDeleteSameeee! I love learning little facts about books so I figured why not do it about mine.
DeleteI love the Clay Walker connection. And the gum-chewing. ;)
ReplyDeleteAhahaha yesss I forgot to add the gum thing. 😂
