Bad Policy kept me reading late into the night because I had to find out what happened next. I anticipate Cabin Fever to be as absorbing and I won't be able to put it down.

My mouth fell open when I realized something about a certain character that I didn't expect, but I won't reveal that here. As I mentioned to Jim earlier, I lost a lot of sleep reading this book because I couldn't stop reading. As for the mud season in the UP, I'm going through that here right now. Anyway, I highly recommend this book for anyone who hasn't read it yet.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-55222517895804625382014-04-09T10:42:16.520-04:002014-04-09T10:42:16.520-04:00Thanks Shari -- Cabin Fever is the first time I ev...Thanks Shari -- Cabin Fever is the first time I ever used weather to such an extent, but the story called for it and I'm so glad people think it works so well.<br /><br />~ JimJim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-71193481287627682772014-04-09T10:37:08.409-04:002014-04-09T10:37:08.409-04:00Terrific interview, Jim and EB.

So ...I enjoyed being one of Jim's beta readers. So much, that I keep his original script and took a quote that I liked. Unfortunately, my favorite quote was edited by his publisher and eliminated from the script. Wish that hadn't happened. I changed the beginning quote so readers wouldn't hunt for missing narrative. Oh well, the penalty writers pay. Thanks for the interview, Jim.E. B.
