E.M. McCarthy How a mild-mannered school teacher traveled to the former Soviet block during the '80s and was asked by a stranger to take a letter from Hungary back to Philadelphia.

What the teacher carried in her purse changed her life and contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

(Hey I'm a writer of fiction, no one said it has to be 100% fact.)
E.M. McCarthy If the wicked watch us, we never know. Doors without locks give no comfort; doors with locks keep us divided from that which picks at hearts and burns the flesh.
E.M. McCarthy I'd like to visit Elizabeth Bennett Darcy. I think we'd have a wonderful time sipping tea and talking about her garden. I'd love to see her estate because I think she'd keep something of a home rather than a grand house.
E.M. McCarthy Don't give up. Learn to let go of things you can't control, and focus on the positive. It is rewarding to become the artist you want to be. Like the undiscovered painter, a writer may never know who appreciates your created art form (in this life at least).
E.M. McCarthy The best part of writing a story is having the ability to communicate an experience of my corner of the world. Through comic elements or romantic themes I find it easier to make the emotional and thoughtful connection to my readers.
