Author Interview
What inspired you to write this book?
At a troubled time in my life, I ran away to Barkerville. I visited the old cemetery, reading the names and ages of the souls buried there. They seemed to haunt the lonely burial hillside, and I decided they needed a book. So I borrowed some of their names and created a new life for them.
Favorite characters?
I loved them all, but particularly Daisy, Hannah's mother. She grew stronger and more capable as the book progressed, and I so admired her courage and ingenuity.
I hope you fall in love reading Yesterday's Gold. I fell in love writing it.
