Look at this one closely, because it is full of surprises.

The idea first came to me while living in Alaska. My husband and I had just returned from a month in Mexico, and I was writing in my journal while gazing out the picture window. It was February, and the white landscape stretched to the horizon while the temperature plummeted and my sunburn itched. The idea came like a thunderbolt - two people (us) gazing into the fireplace, a cat on my lap and my bunny boots warmed by the fire, both of us dreaming of a tropical sunset. Viola! “Cabin Fever” was born.
