I got the inspiration for my first Young Adult novella, Georgia McMasters in Amethyst Lake Cemetery: A Magical Mystery, during one of my many visits to the historical location Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Many well-known people are buried there like Muhammad Ali, Colonel Sanders and more.
Some may find a cemetery to be creepy, but I find it to be quite the opposite. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place filled with many stories. I believe Cave Hill had a story to tell me which answered many questions I had about death and if it really even exists. I learned that it does not and explain the difficult-to-grasp-concept via my beautiful book. It’s a mystery yet also a love story inspired by my own life experiences.
