Re: The Tide Watchers (4:41am July 1, 2015):

So, Lynn Rettig, you think that's why some readers complain about strange
happenings in fiction? They want to escape their crazy lives? :-D

Re: The Tide Watchers (4:47pm June 30, 2015):

Leona, I hope this one adds to your collection. There isn't a lot written about
the Consular period of Napoleon's life and how much he achieved. It's always
about him trying to take over one place or another (which he did) and his
reputation with women (also true), but like any human, there was much more
to him than that. And there is so much more to the spies and inventors of the
period than the information they carried. There's a human element, a human
cost to every decision we make in life. The leaders got the glory, the people
on the ground paid the price.

Marissa, Sharon, I think the weird is what makes life interesting! You can only
talk of commonplace things for so long. The weird and wonderful makes life fun!

Re: The Tide Watchers (4:43pm June 30, 2015):

So true, Sharon Mitchell! Saw a claim the other day that added a whole new
dimension of weird. Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Lord Camelford was a bit that way,
but he never claimed to be pregnant by a pig...

Very true, Sue Farrell! I used to be a nurse, and some of the things I saw...!

Re: The Tide Watchers (10:30am June 30, 2015):

I'm so glad to see readers open to the insanity that is real life for some people,
Nicole. I think I had to be open to it from a young age as the daughter and
chauffeur of a child-abuse counsellor. Some of the clients would insist on my
coming in and telling me their story (I was 19 at the time)...from then I learned
to never say "That couldn't possibly happen!" :-D

Hi, Shakeia, and thank you! What a lovely name you have. I'd love to have a name
that wasn't also the name of at least 3 other kids at school...I hope you enjoy The
Tide Watchers!

Connie, I think the more unusual lives are at least never boring, right? And you'll
be able to relate to a few of my characters in The Tide Watchers, most definitely!
