Deep themes

This entry was posted on 11/23/2011 12:29 AM and is filed under In Books.

    We all have subject matter that is deeply important to us. For writers those topics tend to come through in their stories repeatedly. A lot of authors have these deep themes running through their work.
    My theme seems to be "finding your place in the world," or "your true home." I suspect I keep revisiting that type of story because I'm adopted, though I don't write adoption stories. Instead, my characters are trying to make sense of their identities in their setting,  however they came to be there.
    I also keep revisiting holiday stories, especially set at Christmas. It's a time of year when most people want to revel in family traditions and celebrations, perfect for my "true home" theme.
    My new release, Captain Andrew's Flying Christmas, is my third published Christmas story (after Victoriana and Christmas a Go-Go). I went somewhere pretty unusual this time--to a steampunk version of 1892 England, where British airships rule the skies!
    I hope you enjoy my heroine Linet's journey back to her much loved (and lost) true home. I hesitate to say anything at all about my hero, since he's very mysterious
