Hi, I really enjoyed Are You Sleeping. I was wondering if you had a sister?The way you portrayed the relationship of the twins was very accurate in my experience. If not then you did a great job of imagining it. I loved watching them revisit their past and the emotions it evoked.
Kathleen Barber Hi Jackie! So glad to hear you enjoyed AYS! I'm also glad to hear you found Josie and Lanie's relationship authentic. I don't have any sisters (just one brother!), so their relationship was drawn largely from my imagination.

Did you write a book all about time and energy wasters, people to avoid and how to deal with such or do you happen to know who did that lived in Galesburg, Illinois?
Kathleen Barber Hi Ron — I didn't write that book, and I'm not sure who did. Sorry! Have you tried calling the Galesburg Public Library? They might be able to help you!
