    SAMPLE EXCERPT:
    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”

    It was actually a writing stint that landed Mary Ann Shaffer in England an odd thirty or so years ago. Or at least, it was one of those attempts to write something that put her in that particular time in Europe. She wanted to write the bibliography of one Kathleen Scott, wife to Robert Falcon Scott, a famous Antarctica explorer. She thought that a lot has been written about the husband but there was nothing about the wife. She flew to London to study Kathleen Scott’s notes, journals, anything that she’s written. And there were papers, written in pencil, which was about fifty years old. She deciphered the writing, only to find out they didn't have something substantial and that she, because of what she had read, particularly disliked the woman and didn't want to write anything about her anymore. Abandoning the project, she decided to explore on a whim, finding herself in Guernsey, the now famous island in the English Channel because of a book to be written about it in the future.
    And there was the fog and being stranded, and the thirty-six hours she tried to survive all of it by reading everything she could get her hands on in the airport’s little bookstore that, in the future, will also hold her bestselling book. She wasn't even able to explore the little isle outside of the airport.

    Don't miss out! It's highly recommended.
