Author's Notes

THE STORY/THE AUTHOR -  The beginnings tale was inspired by gals on the Firth Essence Forum. Not the exact scenario we ended up with, but it got me thinking and this is what developed. For accuracy's' sake I used a few historic homes in and around the areas my ancestors came from in England.  Johannah Foulkes is the name of one sister of one of my direct ancestors. Alexander Firth is a brother to one of Colin's direct ancestors. This particular line - Foulkes - came from Derbyshire, the Firth's are Yorkshireman.  The friend was named Lillian after my paternal and Cindi's maternal grandmothers, both named Lillian.  I don't claim I can write precisely how someone from that time would have, nor exactly the proper speech patterns, formalities or mores, but I did my best. (Please note the home, church and stream are not the actual names of the homes, scenery & the church used in chapters 10 and 12.  They are for the story only.)

Co-Author  - Now I warned you didn't I?  So if you're sitting there with a soggy keyboard, it's not my fault.  LOL  I freely admit Diane got me and I also got myself a few times in this story and I'm not the weepy type.  I will drop the hint that you can put your Kleenex away for the next one.  In that one I would refrain from drinking anything while reading, lest you want your beverage shot onto your monitor.  Diane and I have been giggly over that one... ALOT! 
The Music - Sixteen stories, 464  songs. If you ever want one of them, or the list to go over for same, email me off site - diane@firthessence.net  I no longer have the lyrics pages on any of the stories. If you'd like the words or the album info you can email me for that too. I'm not above making a CD compilation of songs if you like.
