Having gone to high school with the author of this book, been in a Creative Writing class with her, seen her perform in several high school plays, and remember her student body leadership, Glenda has the talent to excel in everything she does. I suggest that her success wasn't due to her outstanding ACT and SAT scores, nor due to the fact that she was very respected leader in high school, or a little known previous book, but is due to a lifelong creativity that has had nothing to do with any "turning point" or luck in finding a literary agent or publisher. Talent is what talent is and she has talent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-10771019663344658132014-03-07T16:23:42.683-05:002014-03-07T16:23:42.683-05:00I had the pleasure of visiting Olana quite a few y...I had the pleasure of visiting Olana quite a few years ago, when we lived in Millbrook. My fondest and best memory is of the wonderful picnic equipment that was on display.<br />Portable tables and chairs, wonderful rugs and blankets, and superbly outfitted baskets! How I would have loved to be a part of one of those picnics!<br />I have purchased the book and am looking forward to it.

As writers, did they struggle before success , when was the turning point occur in their career? How difficult was it to land a literary agent.

What a great setting for a mystery story.<br /><br />When I lived in Cleveland, my dream vacation was to drive up the Hudson River Valley in the fall, visiting places like Olana and Lyndhurst, and somehow ending up in Portland, Maine (Morse-Libby house). Alas, this never took place, but I am not giving up hope.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-22637803653121321922014-02-27T08:43:23.768-05:002014-02-27T08:43:23.768-05:00What's not to love about Olana.

They don't, I don't even think they could, make them like this anymore. Just the paper window design keeps me wide-eyed in wonder. Sounds like a great book.. thanks for the rec!<br />Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-32726976520454496332014-02-27T02:31:16.239-05:002014-02-27T02:31:16.239-05:00Hello Reggie:

And whilst we are seldom at book launches here in Budapest [our Hungarian is not quite there yet!!], we are invited to many openings of exhibitions [two next week] which we find enormously worthwhile.<br /><br />We love the picture of Boy with Ms Ros Daly. Now there are two people we should much like to meet!
