Hello Fiona, I loved The Spectacular. Did I misread your notes or is it true that you have been diagnosed with Parkinson disease? I have returned the book to the library so not able to reread the passage in "Author Notes". I found Marion's comments about Simon at the end of the book very informative. Thank you for mentioning Michael J Fox's foundation. chouchette

Hi Chouchette -
Thanks so much for reaching out. I was diagnosed with PD in 2020, and I'm very lucky in that the medication is working well and at the moment my symptoms are minor, mainly a tremor in my right arm and leg. Thanks also for picking up The Spectacular, and yes, the Michael J. Fox Foundation is incredible and I'm lucky to be part of their Patient Council. In fact, just in case you're in the Boston area, I'll be doing a fundraiser for MJFF on Sept 6th - excited to get the word out. More info here: https://give.michaeljfox.org/team/596676
Truly appreciate your kind words--
