It really keeps me going to hear from people like you who want to read my books - the light at the end of the tunnel. Luckily I have a great agent, Jean Naggar, to drive me there. Authors like Jane Green show it can be done and done well.

What you say is one of the highe...Eve, thank you! What you say is one of the highest compliments you could pay a writer. I think you’d like the coastal settings of my books. I try to maintain an element of suspense through my narrative. They've kept my readers up at night.<BR/><BR/>It will be a bit of a wait before you read my novels because my agent is looking for a publisher for the first two, and I’ve only started writing the third. I will definitely announce on my blog and on my website when (if?) they are published. <BR/><BR/>I call myself an author because that was the category that fit me best on google blogger, and as a friend who teaches English at Bowdoin College told me, “If you have an agent, you’re an author.” I hope to grow into it! <BR/><BR/>Welcome back, Audrey! I missed you. I’m looking forward to hearing how it was coming home to the USA for a vacation. Did you like those books?<BR/><BR/>Maybe our paths have crossed, but I’d doubt you’d have met my brother as he’s even more reclusive than I am. He’d prefer that I not mention his name (different surname) on my blog, but there’s a photo and post on him <A HREF="http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2007/04/building-character.html" REL="nofollow">here.</A> He's helping me with one of the central characters in NOT CRICKET who is an architect as he is one too.<BR/><BR/>My brother had a beard back when he was living on Nantucket in the early 90’s. He made custom cherry furniture, turned wood bowls and marketed make-your-own Nantucket lightship baskets with a couple of islanders. <BR/><BR/>I’m sorry I missed meeting you before I left England. It's good we can connect in cyberspace. I feel like we've met in person.

We just got back from the States and are still jet-lagged and I only have three more days until I HAVE to get up in the morning....I wonder if our paths have crossed in person before--I spent a summer on Nantucket in college and used to go out for years after that because my college boyfriend's family had a house out there. What's your brother's name? <BR/>Weirdly, I like to read completely different things to where I am on holiday. I don't know why, maybe I find the matching up too much immersion. This summer in the Hamptons I read a depressing book about middle England in the 1950s ("The Outcast" by Sadie Jones). I read "the Sheltering Sky" when I was in Pakistan. You get the picture. <BR/>I LOVED your photos.

The island defines romance. <BR/><BR/>How special it must have been to see your son married in such a beautiful setting. My husband and I got married on a boat circling Manhattan.

Rest assured, I’m getting back to work on my NOT CRICKET novel next week. I may still blog a bit more on art and the outdoors before the mercury drops. <BR/><BR/>Nantucket can be really busy in the summer, but that day was too hot for a stroll. Mad dogs, Englishmen and bloggers go out in the midday sun? This summer the island felt less crowded. I wonder if that’s a sign of the economy. Nantucket is big and wild enough that you can get away from people. It’s remote location means few day trippers. The twilight series was indeed taken with my Nikon D80. <BR/><BR/>Has Nantucket Nectars made it to India? That’s so cool. It was started by some guys selling fruit drinks out of coolers down by the docks.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-41729183278509003882008-08-29T13:41:00.000-04:002008-08-29T13:41:00.000-04:00I'm beginning to get curious of NOT CRICKET.
