Make sure to connect and support.  Where did you get the inspiration for your book? My inspiration came from my son, Sam. Fifteen months after my twins were born, I wrote a story for Finn about his brother. Documenting Sam’s short, yet precious life was a hugely cathartic experience for me. It made his existence ‘real’ and helped ease my very broken heart. What was your writing process like for this book? I remember sitting down to record on paper, the words which had been bouncing around in my head for months since Sam's death and they literally tumbled onto the page. Before I knew it, I had the twin’s story, right in front of me. I had the book illustrated and chose to print a few copies, for each of my children and close family, which I placed as a surprise gift under the Christmas tree. What is your favorite part about writing books for kids? The heartfelt feedback and gratitude that I receive from families who have purchased our book. Knowing that Sam's legacy has provided so much comfort to so many families and children is my biggest joy. What are you working on now?
