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.
