The origin...Oh thanks for the plug for GEMMA, John. The original book had great line drawing illustrations - pity I couldn't use them (but the cover illustration, which was available, is fab).<br /><br />Debi's book, which I picked up in our doctor's surgery, really chimed with me because my very close friend had been seeing her partner slowly changing/dying in the last six months, and Debi's book was talking about real love, uunconditional love, which rises above anything that's thrown at it, and yet written for 3/4/5 year olds - that's writing at its best.<br /><br />David's not out of the 'merde' quite yet, but he'll get there.<br /><br />Happy 2013, everyone. Our anthology's looking great, isn't it?<br />Enid Richemonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218197995089241666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-70203423482414933692012-12-28T12:53:00.315+00:002012-12-28T12:53:00.315+00:00Hi Enid,

Nothing helpful - I am useless at comforting words - so sending ehugs instead and hope David continues to make a good recovery. <br />Oh, and a suggestion on films - The Princess Bride. Every time.<br /><br />Good luck with the books!madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.com
