I DO want to hear the story of the dental floss and Krazy glue holding the chrysalis aloft! Please, in a future newsletter. Your story telling is always so gripping. Keep me on the edge of my seat.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I am awaiting two butterflies, hopefully, so I hope my chrysalis story has a happy ending. Either way, I will elaborate in the next newsletter!
The forest fires are a terrifying vision of the future, glad you were okay and able to enjoy Tahoe.
I was interested in your comments about specific details dating your book. I actually enjoy reading books that have specific, accurate details from the era they're written in / about. What does annoy me is when novels that are set in an undefined future become dated really quickly. I've read 'futuristic' novels from only a few years ago that include cultural or technological details which are already not at all futuristic.
Thank you! And yes, I like accurate details to "time stamp" a book too. I think part of what caught me off guard as I re-read my book is the realization that 2012 now feels "historic"! Technological and cultural details that feel so relevant at the time can quickly put a novel in a time capsule!

I agree, it is scary how earlier this century already feels so long ago, technologically and culturally.
