Years ago I was with a group of people talking about Tiger Woods. Someone mentioned the fact that he identifies as Asian as much as African American. I thought to myself, of course he does. She was his early attachment. Our self identity if formed by those early attachments. And in a flash I though of Lisbeth in Mattie's arms. I wondered what it would be like for her to love this woman like a mother and then have to reject Mattie's humanity to take her place in society. Then I wondered what it would be like for Mattie to have to leave her child to care for another baby. Finally I wondered about Anne. I thought Anne would be a bigger presence when I started the novel.

I really enjoyed the yellow crocus, and hope to get more time to read more of you works. Will you be writing any more of the same genre?

I was very pleased to find "Yellow Crocus" in Audible. Since my stroke a few years ago, I find reading print to be excruciatingly slow. I hope that "Living Right" will soon be released in Audible. Which brings me to my question. Would you ever consider writing a novel about a person with a disability?

I just finished 'Yellow Crocus' last week and immediately bought 'Mustard Seed.' I hope to start it this evening. I saw that you will be releasing a companion story to this? When will this be out? I would love to read it as soon as I finish the Mustard Seed. I'm in love with Mattie and Lisbeth's stories!
