(from Pauline, age 12)

Dear Pauline,
So many reasons! I had been trained by UCLA to present lectures to mostly middle schools in and around Los Angeles. I loved doing this and loved the study of prehistoric archaeology, the subject of the presentations. After many years of doing this I decided to write a book with a prehistoric background, which of course turned out to be “Dar.” I used my son as a model for Dar because they had many things in common, and this helped me center the novel. Is this the kind of answer you’re searching for? Hope so.
Marjorie
