Re: A Trace Of Smoke (7:08pm May 13, 2009):

Judy: A Trace of Smoke is a slice of life for one woman living through terrible historic times. I hope it captures that one experience. I think it could have gone either way for Germany in 1931. Hitler's rise to power was not as inevitable as it seems now.

Karin: Talkeetna is lovely, isn't it? The view of Mt. McKinley is amazing. But as a teenager, Berlin had a lot more going on...

Rosemary: Thank you!

Re: A Trace Of Smoke (3:51am May 13, 2009):

A TRACE OF SMOKE should be at your local bookstores, including Borders and Barnes & Noble as of yesterday. It should be on the New Arrivals or New Mystery tables.

Berlin today is every bit as fascinating as it was in the 1930s. More actually, as it's much more stable politically. :)
