There's even a website devoted to her family. Her father was the Reverend John Blackstone who was born in 1794 in England. Anyone who's read any of my vampire stories will see that I generally use that date as a beginning point because it sticks in my mind. Icy Snow was born in Augusta Georgia and married a Methodist minister named Fowler. She has 7 or 8 children, one of whom was also a minister and became my great-great-great-grandfather. The minute I learned her name, I thought it sounded like a pseudonym and when I started writing romances, I knew I had to use it! I have no idea what she looked like. That's the one thing I'd really like to know.Toni V.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08052890346125029399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-23933625646485986462009-02-20T20:39:00.000-05:002009-02-20T20:39:00.000-05:00Gosh, Mary and Mary, don't start that vice on my a...Gosh, Mary and Mary, don't start that vice on my account!
