And what a kind offer to chat about your home and the period — I wish I were closer so I could stop by and see it. It sounds lovely.

Just finished reading “deep down true” and wanted to share how much it moved me. As a single Mum, so much of what you wrote resonated deeply. I laughed and was moved to tears, loved Dana’s connection with her children.

Also, saw on your blog you are researching the early 1900′s. My sister and I share a fabulous 1918 home just outside of Vancouver BC, and love the character and feel of our home. Happy to chat if you want!

warmly, Cathy

And I’m so happy you found the translation to be a good one, and that you enjoyed Shelter Me so much. My next book, Deep Down True, is being translated into Polish, and I’ve just sent a note to the foreign rights director at the agency to see when it will be available for you. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out. Thanks so much for your lovely note!
Juliette

I send my greetings from Cracov in Poland.
I have just read your ” Shelter me” novel ( Polish title is different than oryginal, namely ” A porch full of the sun”). I found your book in my favourite library , translated into Polish (unfortunately, is not available in English in our bookstores, but I have to look for in Penguin bookstore). You have written a great novel, and Polish translator did a great job!
I am really impresed and moved. Everything in it is close to me and very human : dilemmas connected with other people help, conclusions, reactions, and very smart language. All those elements make all characters very real and a book very wise. While reading, I could look at me and ask myself a few questions. Additonally, this plot with Roman catholics and Polish surname of Tug is nice :-) ))
Thank you for this book, I am waiting for next in Poland. Up to now no other translated into Polish is available, but all my hope in Penguin , in English. I hope I will be able to understand everything properly – you know, my Englist is not perfect :-)
Best regards
Jadwiga

Thanks so much for your kind words about Deep Down True. I take that as high praise coming from a teenager, since there is so much about the teen and preteen years in the story. Keep reading! Juliette

At the moment, I don’t have a sequel in mind for Dana, Tony, et al. but I never say never. It could happen.

What a great, story! I am so hoping you’re planning a sequel . . . I’d love to read more about these interesting characters! Obviously, I’d love to hear more about the love story between Dana & Tony (that was so satisfying—weird word maybe, but I LOVED reading about them finally connecting!!); & also would love to see where Connie, Alder & Jet wind up!
Thanks for this wonderful book . . . it was sweet, tender, thoughtful & totally “in tune” with where so many of us find ourselves. Thank you.
