In response to today's topic on Today's Author blog: I grew up as an only child and all I ever wanted was a brother. I remember having reoccurring dreams when I was a kid that I had a brother and someone kidnapped him. The dreams didn't stop until junior high. Thirteen years ago while researching family history, I discovered that I actually had a twin brother who died at birth or shortly after. Both my parents had passed away by this time and there were no other relatives I could go to and ask about him. I cried for weeks and it took me ages to get over the shock. My current WIP is about a thirteen year old girl whose twin brother is kidnapped by a bunch of fruitcakes, but it wasn't until I was actually telling someone about the plot line that I realised what I was writing about. There were more tears. The book will have a happy ending. __________________ "Growing older is unavoidable. Growing up is optional"

Wow. That's an amazing insight into your WIP. I'm sorry for all of the difficulties you had to go through to get any knowledge of your brother, but I'm glad you're finding a way to find inspiration from him and also that you're finding a way to give that story a happy ending. The human mind is amazing and clearly you had a connection to your brother that few can or will understand. Good luck with the writing of your book!
