I was recently surprised -- that is, right now, today, at the end of 2012 -- by this blog post by Catherine Zobal Dent -- her informative and cross-conversational post Signs, Sentences and Thunder, which had as its focus in mid-November two of the stories from my first collection, THE ELIZABETH STORIES.... I can't tell you (well, yes I can) how heartening it is for an author to learn that her work is still being read many years after having been published, and that her notions about the human condition are still in some way relevant...
As a latecomer to the world of blogging, I am still mesmerised by the very idea that devoted readers are exchanging views in this way... It is not yet my way but -- who knows? I am so thrilled by the positive comments about my stories on this website, I may want to enter the fray myself to add my own remarks concerning books -- those I have liked or loved, that is. I'd rather not do another writer harm by making negative comments here.
In the meantime, thank you Catherine Zobal Dent, whoever you are.... Come vist me at LE MAS BLANC WRITER'S RETREAT website some day....
