You've been wonderfully supportive of the novel thus far in a way that only a fellow writer could be. That anything I said helped you, or spoke to your own experience in realizing your own novel, is something I'll cherish. And btw, congrats on burning up the Kindle charts!davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381008938676019514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676865176121935352.post-53749512231038842452011-06-04T14:10:53.648-07:002011-06-04T14:10:53.648-07:00How did Domain get up there.

My last novel was inspired by a few events in WWII that I didn't even know were the case until the characters insisted to speaking to me about them. They pointed me towards any research--but most of it is imagined. Also, to my great surprise, the book turned out to be about something quite Domainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829430069483737374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676865176121935352.post-34558774890978149912011-06-04T08:27:09.364-07:002011-06-04T08:27:09.364-07:00Thanks for the comments, Eden and Jeff!

He's well worth supporting and very accessible. Hawthorne doesn't put out bad books, so I am sure David's novel will be great. I'll be getting a signed copy, once he is on tour up here.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563209830154165271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676865176121935352.post-31674539716607377312011-06-03T13:00:07.378-07:002011-06-03T13:00:07.378-07:00I couldn't agree more with David's assessm...I couldn't agree more with David's assessment of what our schools should deem important.
