Adele Clagett was born in Annapolis, Maryland. A dream she had back in 2005 inspired the story of the Seahawk. She began to write the novel but shortly abandoned it. It was not until 2009 that she decided to pick up where she left off and complete it. She currently lives on Kent Island, which is located in Maryland. Included in the household is a rescue greyhound by the name of Shelby.
Background
Information
The inspiration for this book came to me in a dream I had a few years ago. I have not had a dream like this before or since. Luckily, this occurred during the weekend; as a result, I was able to spend time thinking about the dream, filling in the areas that were “fuzzy” or nonexistent. I was surprised how easily these events came to me; it was as if they just “popped into my head.” One character’s name was an example of this. There was no question; his name was to be “Danny.” The book’s conclusion was not part of the dream; therefore, I had to work that out later.
