Should I be writing about the blind?
Of course I care when a blind reader tells me she didn’t like a book of mine. I want to tell her I’m sorry, that I didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, and that I go out of my way to write only nice things about blind people. Come on, we’re talking about Daisy Hayes here!
What I don’t like, on the other hand, is when this same reader claims that I have no business writing about her predicament, Read more of this blog post »

"Mrs Christy is Alive and well?
A cosy mystery of a book. A blind girl and war time pilot, but no happy ever after. Only read this because of the Lancaster, a ride along that would never happen with the CO's blessing." |

"Intriguing mystery!
A most intriguing story with many twists and turns but just enough tiny bits to cause one to start putting the little bits together. One great read!" |

"The story starts with the death of Daisy's husband, Ralph, a pilot during World War II. It goes back and forth through time to tell the story of their love and his murder.
I really liked the characters." |
|
|
"A poignantly suspenseful and engrossingly gripping story of a strong, intelligent, and brave woman who courageously tackles the unanticipated events in her life with a smartly fearless approach and attitude!"

“Without a word, Daisy took off her glasses and revealed the empty buttonholes of her crippled eyes in their full horror. Ralph was taken aback and fascinated at the same time. He started counting to ten in his mind while still peering intently at the ghoulish slits. Even the eyelids were atrophied; there were no eyelashes. After counting to ten, Ralph told himself, “All right, I’m over it now.” Then he reflected that the sight of Daisy’s eyes was disturbing and thrilling at the same time. She looked so naked. It was almost as if she’d taken off her clothes for him. There was something uncannily intimate about this situation.”
