The Story Behind the
Stories
THEY say a lot of things, don’t they? Like don’t
wear white after Labor Day or don’t fry bacon with your shirt off (that’s
probably good advice, come to think of it). Most of what THEY say goes right in
one ear and out the other. But, in terms of writing, when THEY say “write what
you know”, it makes a lot of sense. So, that’s where The Roche Hotel got its
start—from my own experience working in a hotel way back in the ‘90s.
Many of these first 10 episodes are based on some
very real incidents that happened during my days as a front desk clerk in a
little mid-priced hotel. Sure, a lot of stuff’s made up purely from my crazy
imagination, but there were 5:00 AM
donuts—delicious being fresh from the bakery. Henry the Donut Guy—not real, but
I wouldn’t have argued one bit if he had been! Among the many other
true-to-life items that appear at the Roche Hotel are a popcorn machine, a
Muzak (think elevator music) that never played at the right volume, at least
one “lady of the night”, and a dead body.
Thanks so much for your support! Happy reading!
