Truth? I have always wanted to live in a lighthouse! I realize it’s probably not that convenient, what with that skinny spiral staircase and the fact all the rooms are stacked on top of one another, but still. I love gazing out at the sea, and the idea of being tucked up in a lighthouse is beyond appealing. One of the great things about writing stories is that I get to make things happen to my characters that I wish would happen to me, like living next door to a lighthouse. The Fletchers don’t live in the lighthouse, of course, and they don’t own it. (Though it is true that many lighthouses are being sold off to private owners who can turn them into houses or hotels or whatever they want!). Anyway, I often revisit the Rock Island lighthouse in my mind. I wonder how Lucy and Elon’s plans are working out, and what’s happening there. Maybe someday, if I’m lucky, I’ll get to return to the Rock Island lighthouse in my stories, and see what happens next.
