I laughed out loud when I read that.

I've used my experiences as a Civil War reenactor to get the feel for living in the 19th century both in and out of an army camp.<br /><br />Can't imagine doing what some of you have done, though.

I don't think I could willingly jump into a pool with my hands tied, go you, but I've gone to the gun range to see if I could fire the gun I wanted for my heroine(and not end up on my butt). Once, I crashed a plane(on paper of course). I've had great conversations with the NTSB, Customs and Immigration. Thanks, Ellie, for your fun post.

I never could rope worth a darn, so had to work on that before I could finish the third book in the Hearts of Owyhee series. Also, research is a good way to get scene ideas you aren't expecting--such as when things go wrong.

I'm getting a visual on the swimming!<br /><br />This weekend, several of my friends will be joining me for a treat to Chocolate Secrets in Dallas. This location will be making a cameo in my upcoming release, Chasing Air. I love taking places and creating fictional scenes within them.<br /><br />Loved your post, I want to check out your series.<br /><br />DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016356533171667221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-20347011405338127102013-06-06T13:16:48.947-05:002013-06-06T13:16:48.947-05:00Hmm.

So, I needed lots of information about the White House and how someone might go about blowing it up. DO NOT GOOGLE: WHITE HOUSE AND EXPLOSIVES!!!! Yes, the FBI WILL pay you a visit! LOL!<br />If you ever need information, every branch of the military, local law enforcement, and government agency has a Public Relation Officer. This people have everything you need as far as information goes. And, all I've contacted (a bunch) have been very nice and informative.<br />Great article, Ellie<br />Geri FosterGerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858837905996297824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-52124786781011954302013-06-06T08:58:01.235-05:002013-06-06T08:58:01.235-05:00Ellie, what a terrific post!

That's why your books are so fabulous, you have experienced what your characters face and can translate that into mesmerizing fiction.<br />Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
