I saw that you dedicated your book to Tony. Is that your dad? I thought, how talented you are that you can make these characters so dissimilar to the men who truly influenced you. Rebecca clearly is estranged from Stan (love that she calls him that). And she adores her grandfather -- and so do all women actually. But your talent is just amazing. What a gift for characterization. <br /><br />And FWIW, I don't think I can EVER look at a box of Cascade again without thinking of Rebecca's Grandfather again.

I miss him every single day (but thank him for giving me my crazy sense of humor and my love of puns!). My husband reminds me so much of him. In fact, when we were first dating, I noticed Ed had a few quirks that were eerily like Paw Paw. I took it as a sign!<br /><br />Good luck with the new book, Joelle! You know you've got a cheering section here at Stiletto!

I don't want any spoilers! <br /><br />I'm sorry about your Dad. We lost my father in law to cancer recently and it left a big hole in the family. Everyone may say "Hi Mom!" when the camera is on them, but Dad's are just as important.<br /><br />Have fun counting down to pub day!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287040994749326468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-57152729408447930182011-09-01T08:41:30.936-04:002011-09-01T08:41:30.936-04:00I too had a wonderful father, with a terrific sens...I too had a wonderful father, with a terrific sense of humor.
