Glad you came by to read the interview.<br /><br />Sally, I have always thought it was an interesting contrast between rural East Texas and busy Puerto Vallarta. What Jim had to say, just confirmed it.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jim. I have been lucky to have great partnerships, too. The more I hear about the book you wrote with your daughter, the more intrigued I am. I may have to get a copy.

Add in the family factor and it makes it ... dicey. I worried about it and wasn't sure I wanted to risk a good relationship for a good book. But, then I thought, I can't say no. So, we started. It turned out to be a wonderful experience, no real problems, and it did produce a better book. Diane generally writes YA and middle-grade non-fiction books. She has about 25 published at this point. And of course it helped that she had actually sung in the International Finals of the Sweet Adelines. So we have an authentic back stage look.James R.
