If you’ve been reading the Urban Farm Fresh Romance series (and the spin-off Christmas in Montana Romance, Other Than a Halo!) you may be a little confused as to how the Santoros are all related to each other. About the time I began keeping a separate tab in my character name spreadsheet to keep them straight myself, I knew I wanted to share a family tree with you.
Wow! Not so easy to create, I’ve discovered! A friend tried to set it up in a genealogy program, but a family tree is just the opposite. Instead of tracing all the ancestors of one person, I wanted to show all the descendants of one couple. I can see what I want in my mind’s eye, but I don’t have the skill to create it, and my illustrator is busy with her new baby, so I poked around until I came up with what you see. It is not as beautiful as I’d like, but it fulfills the purpose of showing how the descendants of Marietta and Salvador Santoro fit together… and you’ll be meeting more of them throughout the series!
Promise of Peppermint (the prequel novella) is releasing soon, and I’m in the midst of writing the third novel, Memories of Mist, these days. (You can track my progress on the Coming Soon page!)
Wow! Valerie this looks good. Thank you for considering the family tree suggestion.
I hope it helps keep everyone straight!
I am very much into genealogy and love this.
I figured that when I needed a spreadsheet to keep them straight, my readers might need help, too!
