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!
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...
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!
