Would I be an awful person if I asked how the next book was coming? The ending left me with some anxiety....

I'm taking a short lunch today, 8pm east coast is 5pm here and I can't leave the office until 5:15. I'm going to visit my mailbox daily until Copperfields sends me my copy. I've been rereading the series and just have the last two left. So excited. It's nice to be excited about something good instead of being anxious about the other things, even for a little while.

One of the aspects of the police chiefs you mentioned is something I remarked upon, too, their genuine care for their community, which your story shows. I'll be running the review on my FB page again today. It's such an outstanding book. Your comparison to our current times is so interesting and spot on. I'm going to try to catch your podcast this evening.

I look forward to reading it after my normal work day, There may be a pandemic but those mundane and new legal issues still need to be addressed. Attorneys are exempt in California, our work continues. I will be watching the Poison Pen event and start reading your book this evening. Congratulations on its delivery! Your books are thought provoking and contain enthralling stories and themes! I hope ten is easier to formulate and deliver. I’m happy you were able to finish Hid From Your Eyes. Again, congratulations!Susan Nelson-Holmdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335059486795917272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-1800050568173247412020-04-07T12:28:09.488-04:002020-04-07T12:28:09.488-04:00Yay for your book birthday!

I live in California, but we have a family cabin in the southern Adirondacks and I discovered your first book at the Ice Cream Parlor in Chestertown & was immediately hooked - & got my sister hooked as well (a book pusher!). To illustrate how real your characters are to me: I do genealogy and saw that my Albany area ancestors had Van Allstyne neighbors & wondered if Russ knew about them. Several hours later I started laughing as I remembered that Russ is fictional :-) Congratulations & hoping for many more in the series!Jean Tempkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-3593356803188115622020-04-07T12:19:25.824-04:002020-04-07T12:19:25.824-04:00Happiest of days, Julia.

So much is HID FROM OUR EYES at present. <br /><br />I'm one of those readers who is finding reading/concentrating difficult right now. So I went to utter trash, but of course that didn't last, bored me to tears instead of letting me escape. Last night I picked up THE SATAPUR MOONSTONE, which I'd started months ago, and wonder of wonders, I can read again. I'll finish it and then dive into your book, one that I know took so long to write because life -- and death -- got in the way. <br /><br />Congratulations, dear Julia, and now that you're steadily riding that bicycle, don't get off again. xoxAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187856103924954287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13610038747409781822020-04-07T12:16:12.708-04:002020-04-07T12:16:12.708-04:00Happy pub day, Julia!!

That all seems to primitive now, in comparison. And yet it was a vast improvement over anything that had come before. <br /><br />I think this crisis is going to change the world in many ways, and that it already has.
