What a great questions. Here's what...Hi Sonya,<br />What a great questions. Here's what drove this decision. I wanted to write about a medical student in Detroit, starting school in that infamous year,1967. Med school is a four year proposition, that took me to 1971 for SHADOW OF DEATH. <br />I jumped 7 years forward to 1978 for TWISTED JUSTCICE, wanting to take Laura Nelson to Tampa and wanting her to be established as a thoracic surgeon.<br />For my next Laura Nelson book,I will move 7 years forward to 1985. Again, everything is different in her life. I believe that this 7 year leap is enough to consider each book a stand alone and still maintain a connection. THE TEST (2001) and AND THEN THERE WAS ONE (2009) do not feature Laura Nelson and are unencumbered with timelines.<br />Thanks for the great question.<br />Patricia Gussin<br />author,<br />AND THEN THERE WAS ONEBob Gussinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126683167734919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-58311760684049239202010-10-18T12:38:07.161-04:002010-10-18T12:38:07.161-04:00Patricia, I meant to say I'd also heard excell...Patricia, I meant to say I'd also heard excellent things about Oceanview - congrats on that, as well!Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-20496622555007234052010-10-18T12:05:24.824-04:002010-10-18T12:05:24.824-04:00Patricia,

It's damned hard to run a good publishing company.<br /><br />I have a question too: Is there any special reason you've timed your novels to take place 7 years apart?Sonya Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586193814719836361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-4095419170465485042010-10-18T10:29:31.863-04:002010-10-18T10:29:31.863-04:00Oh, I agree.

I love the combo of wine and books, and always have a nice glass of Riesling at my side when I'm signing! Only once did a customer actually spill their wine on my stuff - but no harm was done. LOL. <br /><br />You must get dizzy with all the travel! I did Germany and Thailand this summer (for work) and was glad to get back home to catch up on gardening, etc. when it was all done.Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-63491051830311223922010-10-18T10:16:02.062-04:002010-10-18T10:16:02.062-04:00HI EVERYBODY,

This week we'll be leaving for Florida and then on to New Zealand in November.<br />Thanks for asking about the grapes. Wine and Books, not a bad combination.<br />Patricia GussinBob Gussinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126683167734919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-21195778214884544212010-10-18T09:44:37.765-04:002010-10-18T09:44:37.765-04:00Patricia, welcome to MB4 today!

Fascinating life you've had, and your book sounds intriguing. <br /><br />My question for you is what grapes grow best in your vineyard? I'm up here in the Finger Lakes region, where our Rieslings are our pride and joy. ;o)Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-54079206365647239992010-10-18T09:39:44.791-04:002010-10-18T09:39:44.791-04:00HAPPY MONDAY,
