Does this picture ring any bells? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
I posted it last August on Facebook while I was on vacation at the beach.
I was in love with the word and the fact that it was on a beach house.
Which brings me to the final Nepenthe Fun Fact.

The name of that beach house?
NEPENTHE.
How did I come across the word?
It was the name of a beach house across the road from the one I was staying in last August. My sister and I had looked at the word every time we sat in the rocking chairs on the porch and finally, I mentioned it.
We looked up the definition and both thought it was perfect for a beach house.
And ta-da, that's the connection to how the word gets mentioned in the book for me to tie it into the story.
Hope you've enjoyed these fun facts! I did! :)
