Some of it comes for the momentum of prior plots, which is usually the case when writing a series longer than 3 or 4 titles. However, Pam's plot line came from Art giving me two different DNA tests for Christmas, and thinking about the endless possibilities of what they would reveal.

I love the town I've created. I love going to Lumby every morning when I sit down at my computer, and spending the day on Main Street.
