Hello Friends, Family, and Fans,
Today is Jason Johnson’s birthday. He’s one of the main characters in The Gates of Westmeath series written by Jen and I. With the books set in the early 2000’s, he’d now be in the second half of his forties. We chose that time period to have the characters fit in what I’d already written in The Copper Tarnish, which almost seems silly since the crossover characters have had so much more development outside that still unpublished book.
We chose today’s date in honour of my Mom who passed away in 2008. She was my biggest supporter and harshest editor. She helped me with some of my earliest stories, before I knew I wanted to write professionally. She never got to see me finish a novel or publish. I’d like to think she’d be proud and love the stories Jen and I have created. I still miss her.
Happy Birthday Mom and Happy Birthday Jason Johnson!
