Too soon, too soon

Every once in a while I receive an accolade by email that makes writing books worthwhile. Such praise arrived recently from British Columbia and I want to share it with other readers.

“This is a very small thank you for a wonderful travel book. For a few days, while on the ferry to Victoria and before bed, I was there with you and Sandy savouring the sights, sounds, and smells of Florence and environs. Although I have not been to Italy, my husband and I shall go there one day. In preparation, I will reread the lively, informative and often amusing account of your nine months in Florence and will take the book with us, too.

I was bereft when I reached the end of Fantasy in Florence, for you and for me. The book, as did your time there, ended much too soon.”
