You know what? I wish I had the ability to stay awake 24 hours because these days everything happens when I'm asleep! I just woke up to all these fantastic comments and stories - thanks to everyone who sent good wishes and has entered the contest.
Ivy - glad you like a touch of British humor. I always wonder how it will travel across the Atlantic but Jane Austen, Briget Jones and Richard Curtis have done Okay so I live in hope!
Peggy - yours is an inspirational story in itself.
Ginger - the book and movie are a bit different but I think the fun part is spotting the changes and the scenes that stayed just the same.
Marsha - people watching can be a lot of fun, but sometimes sad too if there's a conflict going on or people aren't being so nice to each other. Makes you think.
Hey, I'm absolutely delighted to see so many posts - thanks for reading the story behind the book! I had such an amazing journey of discovery while I was writing it especially as it was my first novel.
Michelle - I know exactly what you mean about the kindness of strangers. These little things can restore your faith in human nature.
Good luck, everyone and Happy Thanksgiving t you Jean and everyone here too (I've been learning all about this holiday from Sourcebooks Casablanca authors blogspot.)
Hi there from the UK, really enjoying your comments on family inspiration in daily life. I definitely wouldn't have been able to keep on writing (and hoping to be published one day) without the support of my husband and daughter.
