Introduction Weird as this may sound the idea of this started with a dream I had. though none of the characters names were in the dream, I would jus picture them and they named themselves.
The dream was like this: my step-cousin Christine had been on a TV show in the 90s about a girl living in a foster home (Sam). The were filming a new episode and somehow I ended up in it (my character was Kat).
Sam lived with another girl in the foster home who never talked and, for some reason, she reminded me of Eponine from Les Miserables. I haven't seen Les Mis but this girl reminded me of how I had always pictured Eponine.. Since Lea Salogna played Eponine in the Les Mis concert, I named this character Lea.
Anyway, Sam pulled me into her room. there were pillows all laid out on the floor. Sam kicked them aside to reveal a hole in the floor. They walked around one part of the hole and came to the stairs. "This is the basement," she said.
She was supposed t be showing Kat around, but they weren't allowed in the basement. Standing at the bottom of the stairs was a mean looking man holding a Siamese cat with grayish fur. Mr. Clark (who, in the show, was played by Ken Page if you don't know him google, wiki, or imdb him).
Next thing I knew, I was in a white room in the house. This was Mr. Clark's store. I felt like I had been in this store in a different dream. My mom, my sister, and I were in the store, because my mom wanted to shop there.
In the dream Ken Page lived in the house the show was filmed in, and really owned the store.
A large room connected to the shop (it looked like a warehouse) where people could go in and buy other things.
Apparently I blacked out during the shopping part. The next thing I remembered was being in the check out line. my mom had a carriage full of stuff. "Wow. We made out pretty good. Huh Sarah?" my mom asked. I was confused. "Uh, yeah," was all I could say.
I noticed some bottles on a shelf behind the counter that read 'Sherlock Holmes' and then something else. "What's that?" I asked my mom. She turned it around. 'Sherlock Holmes Tobacco Scent Remover'. "Oh," I said.
I looked toward the front of the line. Behind the heads of other customers I saw Ken Page, looking way nicer than Mr. Clark.
Then I woke up. That day I came up with a storyline and names for the characters.
Aside from the dream, I got ideas for the book from Angels in the Outfield and my own ideas. And Mr. Clark was crated. By the way, if anyone wants to know I had the dream on the morning of 11/14/07.
