Book Signing: Penny McCann Pennington - It Burns a Lovely Light
Come Meet the Author! The initial seed for this book
was planted in the early 1990's when I spent three wonderful years in
Pittsburgh, working in feature film production. Scenes were often shot
in the cavernous, abandoned steel mills and factories in and around the
city. I was fascinated by stories of the city's survival
after the demise of its great steel industry - and overwhelmed by the
kindness of the people of Pittsburgh. After fifteen years as a writer
and producer of radio and television advertising campaigns and
documentaries, I finally put pen to paper. It Burns a Lovely Light is a
work of fiction. The characters in my book were pulled directly from my
imagination and not intended to represent anyone in particular - with
one exception. Jack James' experiences over the Gulf of Tonkin were
taken (quite literally) from the recollections of my father, Brigadier
General Robert I. McCann.
