What inspired Taste Test? Some ladies (and men) love their recipes, and this collection of cards is only an example of the type of recipe card my husband received from his grandmother. It simply read “rolls” with the words flour and butter. No mixing instructions. No baking directions. Just hints to help her remember what to put in her famous baked goods. I owe another thank you to a fluke sighting in Elk Rapids. I had been toying with writing a story with a Beauty and the Beast theme, but I wanted to twist the story and have the woman as the beast and the man as the beauty. I decided to have a male character work within the cold, dark home of a beast, but I didn’t know how. It was when I saw a young man who was the image in my head for Ethan coming out of the local grocery store that I had my answer. A cook. I also based this story on a real home that looks cold and grey on the shores of Lake Michigan, and I imagined it housing either a reclusive author or a deep, dark secret. Or possibly both. I have no proof that it holds either. It’s just a house. Ironically, the house will still be prominent in Fragrance Free, book 3.
