One New Review and Two Emails from “Each Angel Burns” Readers
Jan 30th, 2010 by Kathleen Valentine posted in Parlez Moi Blog
There is nothing writers love more than getting emails from readers telling them how much they enjoyed their books. A reader from Virginia sent the following which she said she is also posting to Amazon. I was especially appreciative of her comments on the theme of “sacrificial love” because that was very much in my mind as I was developing the story, just like the power of redemption was the subtext of “The Old Mermaid’s Tale”. I have such intelligent readers — it is gratifying, indeed:
I enjoyed this book over the course of two snowy days in Virginia. I had just visited Maine and Massachusetts where this novel is set, so I was ripe for the accents of these characters.
The book revealed a lot to me about Catholic spirituality. It is the first book I’ve read with a specifically Catholic ethos. Issues of faith, enacting one’s values, the meaning of virginity, sacrificial love, friendship, loyalty are all given scope here. When these characters move from their inner commitments, their manifestation is love rather than deprivation. I lived along with each character (and there are many), and gradually understood their actions. Tender love making is a joy to experience and to read. That too is part of this novel. Ms. Valentine’s atmospheric novel raises many ideas and I think they will keep perking inside me for a good while.
And I received 2 emails with the following comments:
Kathleen –
I finished your new book and loved it. With each turn and new scene I became more and more involved. I was sorry when it ended.
And:
Just finished your book last night. I want a Gabe and a Zeke. I’ll be posting a review to Amazon. I loved the ending.
Thank you all. It means a lot…

Posting this direct from flickr. Sorry if this totally breaks the blog but then again it’s all Joey’s fault for shaming me into trying to figure this out.

Walked out to the end of Eastern Point Breakwater since I had never been out to the Light House and I wanted to freeze the nads off my dog. Stella thought it was a bit nippy but she made it out to the end.

The trial court’s opinion in Howell v. Enterprise was affirmed by Massachusetts’ Supreme Judicial Court earlier this month, reaffirming the special protection journalists have when reporting on difficult cases. The Media Law blog offered its analysis of the case and its significance when the decision was released:

While the Mrs was off romping through the mean streets of NYC I had a little quality time with one of my best buds- The Rabbit.
The Rabbit loves photography. With his very limited income he spends a huge chunck on beautiful lenses and fancy shmancy light attachments for his big ginormous cameras.
So I got off [...]

Can anyone identify this location?
Jan 30th, 2010 by Sharon posted in Good Morning Gloucester, Uncategorized
My friend Don Dunsky sent me this photo with this note:
“Neither Peter Vadala, the appraiser and myself can identify the street. We know it is probably on Portugee hill somewhere.
(It could be a photo from 1951-1952 depending on the age of the dare devil in the front.)”
