The Elite Blog welcomes Author, Stephanie Hurt and her new book, Tuscany.

Hello, Stephanie.  Thank you for visiting the Elite blog.  Your new book, Tuscany has really piqued our interest and we'd like to know more about this exciting new title. Can you tell us how you got the idea behind it?   The idea for Tuscany came to me one morning as I was brainstorming on another book. I was looking at pictures for a cover and several pictures of Tuscany popped up. Then my writer brain went into overdrive. The story came in like a tidal wave, causing me to push aside of my other works in progress. Since there were several stories about vineyards, I decided to focus on the olive oil industry. So, I researched the industry in Italy, specifically the Tuscan region and the story unfolded. I immediately fell in love with the characters and their love for the land.

Sometimes, those secondary projects will turn out some great stuff.  Write about anything, anywhere.  It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to get you thinking differently and out of the box.  I did this recently, and now have a sequel to Christmas at Wild Horse Ranch.  Pretty soon, you'll see Christmas and Wild Fire Ranch hit Amazon and all because I wasn'
