Message in a Bottle
In January 2011 I released 20 bottles into the ocean with flyers advertising my book Crossing Paths: the BookCrossing Novel. 10 bottles (mainly wine bottles) were released at Newcastle breakwater and ten bottles at Swansea channel. More details are on my webpage http://www.tomareebook.com/crossing_p... including a plea to contact me should any bottles turn up.
Last month, out of the blue, I received an email from Meredith in Maine with a picture attached, asking me if a bottle was mine. I knew immediately that it wasn't because what was enclosed in my bottles was the cover of my book and details of how to buy it.
My next thought, of course, was who did release the bottle? It was found in the Bayside area of Northport, Maine and the message reads in capitals:
GENE - I THINK OF YOU OFTEN .. AND REMEMBER YOUR SMILE AND LAUGHTER!
DEBBIE
In the photo I was emailed the sand is quite a lot lighter than the beach sand from Maine. Meredith thinks that it may have come from Cape Cod or the Virginia area. Maybe even Australia! I would love to find out. Please contact me if you know where it may have come from or even if you are the Debbie who released the bottle. Here's hoping we can meet. One Debbie to another! My fingers are crossed!! Please pass this message on if you can.
