Fiction is full of memorable couples, so rather than pick a favorite, how about an eclectic list of ones I have loved?
Hank Stamper and Viv in Sometimes a Great Notion
Sissy Hankshaw and the Chink in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
Ma and Pa Joad in The Grapes of Wrath
Florentino and Fermina Dazo (I think that's the spelling) in Love in the Time of Cholera
Pelagia and Corelli in Corelli's Mandolin
... and I feel like I am just getting warmed up.

I really liked "The Baker's Secret" but there were some scathing reviews that the setting wasn't authentic, i.e. French bakeries would never make cinnamon rolls, and by default, you didn't do the necessary research for a historical novel. How would you respond to those complaints?

I recently read The Baker's Secret and the Hummingbird. I like your genuine style of writing very much but find myself hesitant to pick up The Curiosity. The premise is a bit far-fetched and flirts too much with the supernatural, which I am not a fan of. Would you say the book focuses on relationships between characters more than science? Also, what is your next novel about?
