You know, I've only...Thanks so much, Jannie! <br /><br />You know, I've only spent about a week in Paris. I really wanted to go there when I was writing the book, but money and small children are great impediments. :) That said, I think there's something about longing that inspires writers more than anything else. If I couldn't go there, I sure wanted to create the experience in my head. <br /><br />At any rate, I very much appreciate your kind words here.Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187683434790070953.post-74090066360145198452010-08-02T17:33:11.733-07:002010-08-02T17:33:11.733-07:00Please excuse, Sarah -- with an "h"!

At least no more than any of the rest of us:)<br /><br />But seriously, Sarah's book sounds excellent. I love how you describe the poetry of the prose. That's my favorite type of prose to read. If it's anything like the poem, it is wonderful and full of music. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the info. and all the links!Juliehttp://juliebuff.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187683434790070953.post-20464205100912321302010-07-29T12:11:51.667-07:002010-07-29T12:11:51.667-07:00Joaquin: It does kick ass.
