W.M.J.’s comments from the Q&A with W.M.J. Kreucher group.

An Enchanting Story of Love for the Young at Heart Available This Valentine's Day From Amazon and Other Fine Booksellers.

Detroit, MI, Valentine’s Day, 2014: “Up North” in Michigan there’s a place called Topinabee, a small, peaceful town on Mullet Lake where Mike spends several summers fishing with his grandfather and playing with his new friend. Red, a year-round resident introduces Mike to all the wonders and glories of Topinabee in the summer and to her special friend “Old Man Tree”.

Heaven Sent follows Mike through those summers and the subsequent years. Although Mike leaves Topinabee, he treasures his time there and the impact those summers “Up North” made in his life.

This story is the third and final piece of the trilogy. Dandelion Man – the four loves began the saga telling a boy meets girl – boy loses girl tale from the point of view of the boy that lost the girl. Wally, the protagonist is the primary focus the first book. We learn how he met Dee and we learn a little about Dee as well. Mike makes an appearance in the first book but was more of a sideline character – two dimensional. I have regretted that and wanted to spend time developing his character.

Pharmaceutical tells of the events after Dee and Mike get married up until the birth of their daughter, Corinne. Heaven Sent tells the story of Mike; how he came onto the scene, who he was and the man he became.

This story is set in the nation's capital. A complicated place, even more so now then it was in the timeframe of the book. One needed to be careful about trusting others with information. Information and knowledge was the currency of the town. Information and knowledge lead to power and that drove the engine of DC.

Do you remember your first love? Most do. We carry that first love deeply hidden in our hearts, but that hidden love remains. First love is that overpowering, head-over-heels feeling that we experience in our tender youth and it often teaches us how to need and respond to others. It prepares us for that special person with whom we ultimately share our life. Unfortunately, relatively few of us find the unending type of love the first time around. Yet that first love is so special that we never forget it. Forty years after losing his first love, Wally, now happily married, attends the funeral of dee’s (spelled with a small d) father. And in that meeting renews the memory of a love that both elated and crushed him so many years ago.

Back in the 1960s and early 70s, the Raven Gallery in Southfield Michigan was the place to be to hear great folk artists. What was your favorite performmer? I loved Josh White Jr.
