Cherise Wolas:
I LOVE your writing, but also.. please please expand some of your"Joan Ashby" writings! It was absolutely incredible, how you could find an entirely separate voice for "another author" within your own writing. And I know that I for one, would love to read more from both of you. ;) Any plans to do so?

Liz Laurin,
Thank you so much for writing and for loving my writing! I adore all the many emails and letters I've received about the book. They make every single day fantastic! And yours, tonight, made me so happy!
You asked how I found an entirely separate voice for another author, that other author being Joan Ashby. What I did was this:
I imagined I was her, the focused and determined writer with the unloving childhood, sitting at her old battered dining-room table in her East Village apartment, seeing the world through her particular lens, and out flowed the work she would write.
And yes, you can read more! My new novel is due in 2018, published sometime next summer, maybe July. It is very different than The Resurrection of Joan Ashby, but I so hope you'll be a reader of The Family Tabor!
So many thanks!
