Sooner or later, every writer is asked, “Where do you get your ideas?”  Most of us shrug our shoulders; that’s probably the most honest response.  A few of us come up with snappy canned answers like, “I belong to the Novel Idea of the Month Club!” or “Oh, I have an idea garden in my backyard!”

But in the case of the Undertakers and their first adventure, I can actually answer that question.  The idea was inspired, as so many good ideas are, from my childhood.
