Amor Towles:
what does it feel like to be a successful writer and how long did the Literary Agents and Publishers took for you to like your book? I have finished writing my Adult Fiction and my query letter, i sent most of my work to the agents but they all rejected me. I tried to make some corrections and still got rejection.

Shilipa,
I've written fiction since I was a kid, and I didn't have my first novel published until I was in my forties. Hopefully, you wont have to wait as long as I did, but in the mean time, Ira Glass offers the best possible advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbC4g...

Good morning, I just finished A Gentleman in Moscow. It has to be one of the best books I've ever read. Top 5 in 60 years. Thank you for this graceful, vivid, and fascinating story. Would Nina and Sophie's later lives make amazing novels? But then, their mystery would also be gone. A double edged sword of wanting to know what happened to them, but knowing that we always don't get to know.

Hi Amor, Carol Anne Hedley or Caz here again. I thought you may like to know that in our safe we have the flag taken from Csar Nicholas’s family yacht by my husbands grandfather or great? He was in the Australian Navy when he and his crew came across the drifting yacht. He shimmied up the flagpole and somehow bought it home with him. I have photos but am unable to attach. The Flag has been authenticated. Cheers
