BOOK OF THE DAY: "Making Masterpiece" by Rebecca Eaton.


Guys, you will love this memoir. And you would love this woman, Rebecca Eaton, whom I just met. She's SO COOL — the executive producer of Masterpiece Theater on PBS.


Let me put it this way: She's the reason we here in America have access to the delicious "Downton Abbey".


And her brand new memoir is such a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at her years in Masterpiece — from "Upstairs/Downstairs" onward. Plus, it's full of great stories about the likes of Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins and all the other great thespians and personalities…

I had such a wonderful lunch with her — especially liking the moment when she coined this memorable phrase: "We must always take a break to relax between disasters." A FINE outlook on life!


Enjoy, all…

SOAT in Italy, by way of Japan!

Ciao, Liz! I'm Japanese living in a tiny little village in Umbria, Italy. I live here because EPL gave me courage to change my life, so I did, and I ended up living here. I just finished picking olives in the yard, and now I can go back to read SOAT. Thank you, Liz, for another beautiful, inspiring book that keeps me company!

SOAT on the Mississippi River!

SOAT on the Mississippi River!

Hello again, Elizabeth!


As you know, I've just finished a Kickstarter campaign to fund my book, "Surrendering to Serendipity" about my 90-day road trip following the entire Mississippi River. A friend I had not yet met, but who has followed my blog and FB page, graciously invited me to visit her home on a high bluff overlooking the Mississippi in a beautiful part of Illinois. Because I could imagine no more perfect way to catch my breath before moving into the next phase of my project, I gratefully accepted.


Of course, what I took along was my copy of SOAT, which I have been dying to dive into since I got it several weeks ago. So, here it is – SOAT beside the magnificent Mississippi River!


I am LOVE, LOVE, LOVING this book! I cannot remember ever having the experience of being on page 50 of a 500-page book and already not wanting to reach the end! I love the language, the characters, the science and the delightful surprises. It is truly a masterful work! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us all!
