Inspiration

Lost in the Mist of Time was inspired with a trip to Ireland. She enjoyed Ireland’s charming beauty, along with its interesting history and legends. One of the more unusual tours was to St. Michan’s Church, founded in 1095. For five hundreds years, it was the only parish in Dublin, north of the River Liffey. The main attraction lies in the vaults underneath the church where four mummified remains are on display. No one knows the identity of these four people that were worthy to be buried on such sacred grounds. Ms. Nutt found that it would be an intriguing prospect to weave a tale around an added inhabitant, bringing him back to life so to speak. It would be his story about how he lived, and loved; however, it would be with a twist: a chance to change his fate.
