One of the things I enjoy most about all this is the unsuspected interconnections we build with the people involved. I've told this to one of my favorite editors: I'm jealous of her, since she gets to interact with all these fascinating people from all over the world. It really is a joy for her.
And it's nice to hear it sometimes works both ways. Kate just got a note from the editor of StepAway. I can't post it all, of course, but I enjoyed this paragraph:
"The power of the text! I'm heading to Nice for the first time today. I have rented an apartment just north of the Promenade des Anglais on Rue des Fleurs. It's an impromptu trip, inspired in part by Bill's story. I'll be sure to take a seat in the sunshine and read "Promenade" once again. It will be a pleasure, I'm sure. "
How cool is that? Life is good!
Thanks,
Bill
