And Rhonda - I love your idea about Julianne Moore. A friend suggested the same thing the other night! Now all I have to do is get Hollywood interested.

Congratulations!<br /><br />What I love about your story is that when your series died, you remade yourself very much as your character, with all of her chutzpah and charm. I am in awe of the research you did to pull this one off.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-85885695537675372682011-03-12T18:01:32.423-05:002011-03-12T18:01:32.423-05:00Hi Jessica,

Way to go on re-inventing yourself.

Likewise, her books have been perpetual shelf-mates next to mine.<br /><br />Over the years, I've been able to hear several of her background stories - the real life events and research adventures that went into her wonderful Rachel Porter mysteries. I'm quite sure I'm not the only person who said, "That would make an incredible book." I'm delighted to see her editor had the same thought. <br /><br />And Jessica, I know it's a let-down to not actually be meeting readers on the road. But on the plus side, no one will ever ask you to "step over here and raise your arms out to your side" on satellite radio!Julia Spencer-Fleminghttp://www.juliaspencerfleming.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-27358930449473737062011-03-12T10:33:41.820-05:002011-03-12T10:33:41.820-05:00Welcome Jessica--and this sounds like another grea...Welcome Jessica--and this sounds like another great convention that is on the WRONG COAST for me.<br /><br />Good luck with the book.
