Caitlin, Pat's nine year old granddaughter, was her inspiration for the second book, Part #2  Topaz and the Plum-Gista Stone.  

Pat writes:
"As I was trying to get past a stumbling block in the first chapter, I received a letter from Caitlin. It was a single paragraph she had typed on the computer. Knowing I was going to write another story for her, she wondered if I would  include her idea.The paragraph Caitlin sent me described a specific dilemma for the characters in the story. The dilemma turned out to be the very solution I needed to get past my stumbling block in the story. It also introduced a new character, a Fawn named Daisy." 

 Pat lives in a small town in Arizona with her husband, Ron and their dog, Charlie, a black lab mix.
