Some of you already know that I recently spent a month in Thailand doing research for the "Between Boyfriends" sequel. There were some awful floods while I was there and I was very lucky to have not been directly affected, except that I had to take a bus from Chiang Mai back to Bangkok, and let me tell you the buses are no picnic. Still I was very fortunate and I am very grateful. As Thanksgiving is approaching I am becoming more and more aware of how lucky I am. I am sure this will color my character's attitude as I work on the sequel over the holidays. Luckily Jan has reason to take stock of her life and learn some appreciation as well.
