Love this, Christina! I want more tips on living and semi working for five weeks in Europe. What was good, what not, what would you do differently next time?

Love this Christina! Waiting for the miracle, that beautiful poem, Aperol Spritz (my fav summer cocktail too!), your enduring partnership with your friend Anne. Persistence! Yes. Pre-ordering now and can’t wait to read.

What a lovely and inspiring note! And congratulations on your new book and collaboration. I know Ballymaloe well (I am from cork! Have all the Darina Allen cookbooks.) How great you got to visit. Looking forward to the new book!

Can’t wait to read the new book. Collaboration sounds like a great cure for writer loneliness…

Thank you for the lovely words, Christina - can't wait to read the book. I wonder if your ears were burning, as Ellen Fisher, Nicole Caron, and I drank wine last night in Denver and sang your praises and reminisced about Chamonix last September. Thanks to your inspiration I have finished the second book in my Saguaro series, A Murder at Rancho Manana - it's with my editor now - and am beginning the third book, Second to Die, tomorrow. SK

Yes, may we all take joy in the small details of nature and of life in general. I love the poem!

Ordering your book now! Martha Conway and I are currently writing a thriller inspired by our time in Chamonix :) Thank you for the glimpses of joy, such a good reminder to look for them everywhere.

Just ordered PLEASE DON'T LIE - can't wait to read it! And the advice about not giving up before the miracle - ooof yes. That resonates. Thank you :-)
