There are two sunken ships, a murder, a fire, a costume party and multiple complex betrayals, and yet it’s startling to realise how much of its drama never actually happens. It’s a melodrama, and by no means short on bangs and crashes. ![]() The girl is anxious, observant, dreamy, terribly romantic, a perennial fantasist whose fears and insecurities bloom out of control when she becomes mistress of the haunting Manderley. ![]() She wrote it in the first person, from the perspective of a young unnamed narrator, who meets the dashing, yet unhappy Max de Winter while working as a lady’s companion in a grand hotel in Monte Carlo.

I sold a few short stories to small magazines, but was quickly shot down by rejections following my earlier success. Encouraged by that, I began writing slice of life stories, mostly nonfiction or based on the antics of my family. The first short story of the accident was published first time out in Victimology: An International Journal, along with two related poems. At that time I wrote as a catharsis for my grief. They got good grades too! I kept a few journals raising my six kids, but didn't get serious about writing until a tragedy struck my family. I always loved writing and when I was unable to attend college due to family problems, my stories went without me. Tell me what brought you into this crazy writing world.

For older readers, a glossary of foods provides a bit more information about the different foods presented. Although toddlers tend to gravitate toward realistic pictures, the bright colors and appealing presentation will endear this book to them. The alphabet format combined with artistic constraints make for some interesting food choices: ugli fruit, jicama, and xigua are some less-familiar choices, presented right along with apples, bananas, and potatoes. Each fruit or vegetable is depicted in watercolor collage that is somewhat reminiscent of Eric Carle's style. ![]() ![]() Eating the Alphabet is a deliciously simple artistic presentation of many fruits and vegetables, organized by the letters of the alphabet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Toby's Bark, illustrated by Teresa O'Brien, Dent (London, England), 1991.
