Inspiration

I had about as close to a perfect day as you can get yesterday. The sun was shining, temperatures were in the mid-70s, and my husband and I drove out to Montauk, which is at the very end of the South Fork of Long Island. After walking around and having a delicious dinner by the water, we saw Ingrid Michaelson perform at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett.

I took photos to share because not only is Montauk gorgeous and Ingrid amazing, but they both played a role in the writing of Siren. The story takes place in a coastal New England town, and while describing the setting, I envisioned Montauk Harbor and other places like it. And Ingrid makes some GREAT writing music...I must've listened to Girls & Boys a thousand times while working on Siren!

Hope you're having a great weekend, too!
