a gerat blues track i seem to remember, but since i only get to stay a day it is more like Kansas city here I go. Two great gigs (Thank you Rainy Day books, you keep reading alive)  and a lot of big sky and flat land in between. If only one got to stay anywhere longer than 36 hours…Lindsey look forward to meeting you in Atlanta and thank you for your kind words about  SACRED HEARTS . Talking so much about something that took such a chunk out of one’s life and soul seems rather strange after a while, almost  like faking it, but I hope something remains of the struggle and the joy. This is modern life and while in the end I believe in word of mouth as the final arbiter of quality, maybe this does reach more people. Would value your thoughts on that, everyone out there.

Loved SACRED HEARTS – the historical detail and the psychological insight into the inner world of women religious, then and now. Don’t know if you realise how closely our historical periods are paralleled with Vatican observers moving through contemporary US convents – checking up on the ‘authenciity’ of their religious practice etc. Could you get your webmaster/mistress to correct the spelling of ‘postulant ‘ in the photo section of your website – has labelled it ‘postulate’ (a verb!). Are you coming to Austraia?

I was educated primarily by nuns from grade school through college, and I admired 99.5% of them. I was researching Galileo for a speech and realized that his daughters were put into convents because they were born out of wedlock. This fascinated me, so I read your book, Sacred Hearts with fury. I could barely put it down. Your style of writing and your detail of characters and relationships is invigorating. I look forward to reading more of your novels. Please come to Fort Myers sometime.
