J...Rhys, thank you for the wonderful introduction.<br /><br />Jacqueline. welcome to Jungle Red Writers. What a fantastic story about how the discovery of The Woman's Book led to an idea for a wonderful novel and the background of the story you wrote. <br /><br />We find inspiration everywhere. The rummage / jumble sale is a great place. My inspiration for my WIP came from an exhibit, which I saw when I was in college.<br /><br />Looking forward to the new book in July!<br /><br />~DianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-3477036575412136562014-06-17T21:23:38.089-04:002014-06-17T21:23:38.089-04:00Already pre-ordered!

If only you were coming to San Antonio on tour! <br />Finding that "little" book of only 756 pages was quite fortuitous! Checking the internet to see if it might be available, I found that it is. If others are interested, see https://archive.org/details/womansbook00jack<br />Contains everything a woman needs to know? Perhaps for the times, yes. I was happily surprised to see how many areas are included, not just the home domestic details. It might be interesting to delve into a chapter from time to time. <br />I feel certain your book will sell extremely well!Gail in Seguin, TXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-77578184533796323672014-06-17T16:25:43.339-04:002014-06-17T16:25:43.339-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-37376612925864025652014-06-17T16:25:22.340-04:002014-06-17T16:25:22.340-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38312221721381853462014-06-17T16:25:05.616-04:002014-06-17T16:25:05.616-04:00Kezia!

It was the name of Job's 2d daughter, and came from cassia, the cinnamon-like spice; in those days, daughters were often named for spices or jewels, to emphasize their value. And of course, when your great-grandmother was born, exotic names were in vogue again. Great find, great story!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-24788109719657044062014-06-17T13:19:34.919-04:002014-06-17T13:19:34.919-04:00Hi, Jackie!

I am definitely putting this one on pre-order. I love thinking about peoples' lives that were the recipients of old books I have with inscriptions. That you made the connection with The Woman's Book so many years ago is a sweet memory trip for you as well.

I've been a bit immersed in WWI history lately, having read Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August and Ken Follet's Fall of Giants. The Maisie Dobbs series got me interested in learning more about the time period. I'm sure this will be a great additon.Judybusyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932570621441908178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-2296695477782638662014-06-17T09:44:37.490-04:002014-06-17T09:44:37.490-04:00Hello, Jacqueline! I've read your Maisie Dobbs...Hello, Jacqueline! I've read your Maisie Dobbs' books and your latest is tugging at my heart. My paternal grandfather fought on the Western Front during WWI, so the war has a personal connection for me. I've learned more about the cost of that war in your books and other mystery novels than I ever discovered in an academic textbook.<br /><br />I love the backstory for your newest book--and love hearing about your path to becoming a published writer. I think that, along with observing details, a writer also possesses the ability to turn the prism of observation and look at events, details, snippets of conversation from a slightly different angle--sometimes immediately, sometimes much later.<br /><br />For myself, I read an interesting article some months ago. And just recently, the information popped up in my mind again--and I thought, instead of "How amazing!", "Wouldn't that make the perfect alibi for murder?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-2270499226185170492014-06-17T09:43:47.251-04:002014-06-17T09:43:47.251-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38805805826161732552014-06-17T09:18:25.789-04:002014-06-17T09:18:25.789-04:00Hi Jackie!!!
