Day 15 ~ Digging Up Secrets
Between my horticultural research for my Port Aster Secrets series and the endless challenges of maintaining our century farmhouse, I had plenty of creative fodder for the Victorian Mansion Flower Shop Mysteries Annie’s Fiction contracted me to write.
Then it happened…
Our well stopped working. Only, the wellhead was buried and we didn’t know where it was! So…we started digging near where the pipe entered the basement wall. And by the time we found the wellhead, we’d dug a grave-size hole.
Of course, then I’m thinking: What if we find a body in the hole?
And the plot for Digging Up Secrets was born.
Thankfully, we didn’t find a body, but poor Kaylee did at the flower shop she took over from her grandmother on beautiful Orcas Island, Washington.
Now that would’ve been a lovely spot to indulge in a research trip!
