Loved your newsy post. So much going on in your life. Burgundy, the Med, the Montparnasse cemetery, a move, Northern CA and, best of all, Paris. Most of all, you remain focused on telling the stories that matter, stories that mean something - that's why I love your novels. Looking forward to your next novel!

Thank you so much, Patti! This was a busy month - usually I am a homebody. But it was great to get out and about while I was nervously waiting for those edits to come back. I appreciate your kind words very much! xo

Cemeteries are fascinating! I always get sad when people talk about the Jews killed during the war but never mention the millions of other people murdered by the Nazis en masse. The mentally ill, the handicapped, gypsies, atheists, gays, political dissidents, ....Jews do not have a monopoly on suffering.

I love walking through cemetery's as well. I have walked through Shelby's many times and am fascinated by how many people are related to each other.
