The people, the events - Mcarthyism, WWII (I could go on and on) - all great inspiration for an author there I imagine:)kazzakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484517880483861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867803989902405576.post-13828593793643445382013-03-27T17:36:20.666-07:002013-03-27T17:36:20.666-07:00I'm writing another Hollywood story that start...I'm writing another Hollywood story that starts in 1921 and I have already mentioned Eric in it. He may also have a role, so we'll see a bit more of him. <br /><br />So many stories in old Hollywood. I think I've found a niche for while.

The characters are still with me today and I doubt that will change. (Ben Wilmot is still with me to this day.)<br /><br />Eric is one of the most interesting characters I have read. It's nice he carries your brothers name :) <br /><br />"Inspired" is the correct wording, of course, and that was easily enough rectified.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Kazzakazzakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484517880483861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867803989902405576.post-91583461146547408112013-03-27T09:04:25.914-07:002013-03-27T09:04:25.914-07:00Kazza,
Thank you so much for this overwhelming re...Kazza,<br /><br />Thank you so much for this overwhelming review. These characters, all of them, still live in my heart. Eric, named after my dear brother, but nothing like him, still haunts me. He was so difficult to write and yet demanded his page time. You truly got him. I'm grateful for that. <br /><br />I must correct you on one point. Jack was inspired by Billy Haines, not based on him. I tried hard to steer clear of blatant similarities as I didn't want Tarnished Gold to be a rehash of Billy's life. A couple of instances, yes, I did pay homage to Billy. How could I not. The man still haunts my dreams at night. There was only one Billy Haines.<br /><br />Thank you again. I am humbled by your assessment of the story. So thrilled that you loved it as I do. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />Brita Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260617057194501013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867803989902405576.post-41661486587266241902013-03-27T07:18:18.384-07:002013-03-27T07:18:18.384-07:00It is so emotional in parts and overall very beaut...It is so emotional in parts and overall very beautiful.

Great review as always.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586791801203304382noreply@blogger.com
