A VIEW FROM A DREAM

In my dream, Artelia Bendolph in 1937 Gee's Bend, Alabama, looks out her window to see...
  
...little Lauren smiling and spinning and dancing with a character she (Artelia) inspired:
 
Ludelphia Bennett from LEAVING GEE'S BEND.

Authors: do your characters make odd appearances in your dreams?

  1. Irene, can't say I have but honestly, I can't take my eyes off the top picture. Is that a photo? An illustration? So so beautiful!

  2. That photo is on the back, and on p. 35, of the big book I got at the Gee's Bend exhibit a few years ago. It is haunting and beautiful. And what a beautiful young lady in your creative reader, Miss Lauren! I have some pretty weird dreams - I hope characters in current projects will pop in and let me know what they're up to... ;0)
