I was on a panel at a crime convention and our moderator, Donna Moore, asked us to prepare a paragraph or two (to read aloud) in a genre in which we had not written in before. We were allowed to choose any genre we desired. So, naturally, I chose the little known genre of bucolic erotica. Those two paragraphs became the starting point for The Turnip Farm.Al Guthriehttp://www.allanguthrie.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681306287721676137.post-51750725749919377252009-11-23T12:46:31.979-08:002009-11-23T12:46:31.979-08:00Wanted to know ... what was the inspiration for Tu...Wanted to know ... what was the inspiration for Turnip Farm in UNCAGE ME? ...
