SAMPLE EXCERPT:
“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
When Simonson started to write this story, her only goal was to write something for her own pleasure in a landscape she was missing a lot. It would be like “an afternoon treat with no calories,” just for herself, not thinking of doing it for anyone else or not caring what someone else would think of it or of her. The image she had in her head was a small brick house in an English village much like the one her family lived in near Rye, except there were no ants, no rot, and no taxes. Her character is a retired person—she did not make it clear in interviews why she chose a widower like Major Pettigrew as one of her major protagonists, though we can imagine that someone like him could put a smile to her lips.

Don't miss out! It's highly recommended.

Bibliography
Foreword
A personal note from the editor…
What if…?
was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.
When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I’m laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.
One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.
This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.
So without further ado, I present to you…
