Hesitantly Abby asked, “Did the girl, Sammy, did she die that day?”
“I don’t know,” Felicia said. “For Link the war ended that day; he never referred to her again.” (The Deepest Water by Kate Wilhelm)
They are referring to characters in a novel that Abby’s father wrote, a book that includes a lot of details from his real life in a fictionalized way. When you’re reading a book, do you ever wonder how much is drawn from the author’s true life experiences?
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.
I borrowed my copy from the library and the above is my honest opinion. I am an Amazon associate.
It depends on the book. Some books make me think the author is self inserting. Some, it never crosses my mind to wonder.
Great teaser!

Yes, I always wonder about that. I think most authors draw on their own experiences, at least a little. Interesting teaser. I’ve never read anything by Kate Wilhelm, but I’ve got several of her books on my TBR list.
My teaser.
Very intriguing. I want to know if she died, too. And who this Link is, and…and… Great teaser!

That’s one of my favorite questions I love to find in author interviews! Good teaser 🙂
