The Todds were very forthright. They said it was a learning process at first, and that there were still times when Caroline's husband would say, "I don't think you can pull this out," but they always managed to do so. May you and your son have the same success.

We all need more poetry in our lives!<br />Here near Washington DC we have the Library of Congress National Book Festival Sept 21-22. For me, just reading Joyce Carol Oates interview of herself in the Washington Post's special section on the festival has been a treat.<br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/joyce-carol-oates-interviews-herself/2013/09/12/906032ee-fd0c-11e2-bd97-676ec24f1f3f_story.htmlShari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-24195996966961642752013-09-17T14:59:43.522-04:002013-09-17T14:59:43.522-04:00What a great experience, Paula.

I am so impressed you were able to meet these authors. My son Andrew and I collaborated on my latest Five Star/Gale mystery THE THIRD EYE which was published this month. Did the Todds say if they thought a mother and son working together on a book went well for them? I love the book Andrew and I wrote together.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-65746737944152944102013-09-17T14:31:00.906-04:002013-09-17T14:31:00.906-04:00Gloria, you would love it.

My pirate's plunders a different sort of treasure than silver and gold. <br /><br />Glad to hear that you enjoyed the festival. I think good logistics are dependent on experience. Next year you'll have it down pat, which will increase your fun. Susan Boyer and Susan Mott Davidson are favorites of mine. E. B.
