The best thing about being a writer is that I get to live surrounded by books and words, essentially reading for a living as much as writing. That, and I can go to work in pajamas!

Just finished Love and Ruin and can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and stories about Ernest Hemingway and the women who shared his life. You are able to create wonderful historical fiction and your dedication to bringing their stories to life with words that paint beautiful scenes is deeply recognized. Thank you for taking us along on your travels and experiences, where are we going next? Wh

Not a question - a statement!! LOVE your books and of the three I've read, I feel transported in time and have felt as if I've the known the characters personally. Have marked Madam Hemmingway for next - recommended?? (You have turned me into a Hemingway fan - even though he wasn't the most virtuous person on earth!!) Thank you so much xxx

No ? just feedback: Loved both books! I loved Circling the Sun a bit more because I had no awareness of Beryl B and her groundbreaking life. I love that for me, you created many conflicted crossroads for her that despite my wanting her to remain independent and as spirited as possible, I found that I was also rooting for her to be conventional "just this once" since it seemed it would be "easier". Best wishes
