They say that location is everything in real estate, Trish. It sounds like we could just as easily say that timing is everything in publishing. Sorry to hear about the hate mail. That’s so unfortunate.

Thanks for the high praise, Nancy! Don’t be too worried about the next book. That scenario couldn’t possibly come true. Unless……

Wow, Marianna, that is truly spooky! However, writers are always on the leading edge of what is possible in the world. It requires that creative imagination to take a set of facts and extrapolate what might happen if they were combined in a certain way. So I’m not surprised that you developed with a scenario that came true. It’s tribute to your research and to your creativity both! I have to admit that I’m a little nervous about your next novel. LOL!

By the way, Marianna, my book, Stuck With You, began with a bomb blast. The lay down date? 9/11/2001. You wouldn’t believe how many reviewers blasted me for being so insensitive. Ummm, it’s not like I WROTE it on that date. But I couldn’t even celebrate its release because I cringed at how people would perceive that opening. With good reason. The only hate mail I’ve ever received on a book.
