I admire your writing, and I also relate to the locations and landmarks you write about, since I am a local. Is it a plot (are we keeping the secret for ourselves?) but books about the Central Coast rarely make it to the big time. Other than Paul Giamatta's "Sideways" - which I've seen, and I didn't like. "Bottle Shock" was a much better movie about California. You and I write about the same theme: keeping love in a long term relationship. I have contacted two editors since the Book Fair and I am working on rewrites. My question is, you made the comment that you did a 14th rewrite - was that a joke? How many times do you go over a piece of work before you submit it? Happy Thanksgiving! - Judith Dear Anne,
