Your new story sounds fabulous, and your Aimee Leduc series sounds wonderful, too. I had never encountered it before, so am SO glad I read this blog.

I left for a month in London only two days after the conference so I had never gone through my conference books. What a lovely surprise to find such a treasure--but I will be ordering a hard copy from PP, too. Readers are in for terrific read!

I took a photo of you and Cara at Book Passage several years ago when I was there for a writing workshop.<br /><br />Cara, welcome back to Jungle Reds! Congratulations on your stand alone novel and it looks like a novel that I would love to read! When I visited Paris some years ago, we visited the Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre. I remember the Tuillieres (sp?) Gardens. I had a chocolate crepe with a cafe au lait on the Left Bank. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind most of the French people were, after hearing stories about how rude the French were. Everywhere I went, I noticed that the cheese shops had more goat cheese than the other kind of cheese. <br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-1223281792494052492020-04-05T12:49:14.791-04:002020-04-05T12:49:14.791-04:00Cara,looking so forward to your book.

This small fact that Hitler came to newly occupied Paris for three hours. Only three hours and then left. No victory parade on the Champs d'Elysee or what you'd expect. I knew there was more to this and the fact Goebbels his propaganda minister, and pioneer of faux news, edited the newsreel of Hitler's visit!Cara Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592098418515886674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-52526394067989652962020-04-05T12:10:05.593-04:002020-04-05T12:10:05.593-04:00Thank you Grandma Cootie/Sally!
