Jess asked Paula Wall:

Are you writing any new books?

Paula Wall Hey, Jess! I am and thanks for asking.

I'm of the Hemmingway school. If you talk about it, you lose it

My first year in college, I was invited to a faculty party. I gravitated to a crowd gathered around a woman talking about the novel she was writing, sat down on the floor in front of her and never moved. Gerry had us all mesmerized.

My last year in college, I went to a party, and there was Gerry, surrounded by fans, talking about her novel.
.
Epilogue: A few years ago, Gerry invited me to speak at the Women's National Book Association. I asked her, "So, where's the book?" She told me it was sitting in a drawer. I gave her hell and told her, "It's time to birth that baby!"

So, at the age of 84, Gerry Tatham published her first book. I invite you all to read it!
Roger and Out, by Gerry Tatham.
