An Old Gem

In doing some research for my own writing I came across an old gem that use to be one of favorite novels. Locked In Time introduced me to the suspenseful, air-tight plot and how a novel can take you on a whirlwind ride. The author, Lois Duncan, was an inspiration to me when I was younger, giving me my first ideas for writing my own work.

Its funny thinking about the things I read over a decade ago. How much life has changed from those days. I remember reading this novel and considering myself as a grown-up individual. Life was utter crap back then, but I found books as a way of escaping the terror. Locked In Time helped me grow.

I love running across old gems like this. It makes a person reexamine their own roots, and as I start my new project I enjoy the retrospection.
