Blog postLast time I talked about Dan Brown’s story, The DaVinci Code. I’d like to mention a couple of other strong influences that were motivations for Separated on the Paris Metro.

Blog postYears ago, I got a copy of The DaVinci Code for my birthday. It was right after the book had initially been published, the hardcover edition. I didn’t start reading until a couple of months later on a Christmas trip to Paris.

Well, at least the writing part of the book... There are so many details that can go into self-publishing a book, more than I had ever realized. Cover design, different kinds of -
Blog postI continually have this conversation with other parents:
Hey, what were you up to last weekend, I saw some picture on Facebook / Instagram / Twitter / etc… where it looked like your kids were piloting a boat / flying a helicopter / covered in vibrant dusty colors from head to toe.
