Inspiration for Book #1 (The Corpus Christi Trip)

As promised, I'm going to tell you guys how I came up with the idea for this book, and eventually the series.

This is the story of what gave me the idea for this book.

I think it was back in the summer of 2013 when I went with my family to Corpus Christi, Texas. Once in a year or two, we could go to Corpus and visit the beaches and gift shops. Growing up, that had always been our one vacation spot.
One of the places that we stopped at was the Texas State Aquarium. (I believe this was my first time in a long time that I've ever been in to this place.)

At the aquarium, we saw the dolphins exhibit. The exhibit also had a basement-level room where you can view the dolphins underwater. There's a section of that room where there's a circular glass wall, where it feels like you can make contact with the dolphins. I stood in that section for a while to get pictures of the dolphins.

The funny thing was that there was one dolphin that kept coming near me... as if he was curious to know what I was doing with a tablet. (I guess he was photogenic, because I got a good picture of him smiling at me.)

At one point, I had locked eyes with a dolphin (I don't know if it was the same dolphin as before, or one of the other ones), and I felt this deep connection, like it was trying to tell me something. And when we left the aquarium that day, I left there with a seed--a seed that would grow into a story.

When I got home from the trip, I started researching about dolphins. I even got a couple of books about dolphins, so that I could get a better understanding of what these creatures are like (I'll talk about this more in a later post).

That trip was the start of a journey that lasted for at least 5 years. Yep. I'm talking about the journey of writing my book.
