Many good years, many good books, many roads traveled. More to come! When we first met, you asked me if I knew what synchronicity was…and now, after all these years, that question turns out to be a synchronicity itself! Soon after we met, I showed you a magazine article I wrote about getting captured by a guerilla army in the mountains of Guatemala, and you seemed more impressed that I’d gotten published, than that I’d escaped! So you handed me a manuscript, Nine Strides to the Roses, that became In Shadow, your first novel.
We both soon quit our jobs, got married, and took off to South America. We’ve been exchanging manuscripts ever since. You fulfilled my dream of finding a partner who was also a writer.
Happy Belated Birthday Trish!! I hope it was lovely! xo
Happy birthday, have a wonderful day … year … life …
what a message to the birthday girl!!! happy birthday to you, trish, from me…
Such a sweet post, Rob! Happy Birthday, Trish! I didn't realize that you are a Gemini, but should have known! Wishing you a fabulous day and year ahead! Cheers and bon voyage! Have all the fun you can!
Thanks, all! We got here, even have had a synchro.
Happy birthday Trish…enjoy your special day. Best of everything is wished for you today. xa
I'm delighted you share the same date of birth as my goddaughter – she's 30 today!
Happy Birthday and have a great vacation!
That's cool to read about how couples met and what brought them together. In my personals ad, I decided to begin with a question. I ask: "Have you ever had a coincidence so amazing that it caused you to question everything you believe in?"
No responses, yet. I don't meet a lot of ladies my age (mid-30s) who seem interested in coincidences, synchronicities, and other such phenomena…so Trish is definitely rare, I think! Congrats on you two finding each other and having compatable careers as writers.
Have a fantastic birthday in Aruba (…Jamaica…Bermuda, Bahama…)!
Happy Birthday, Trish!
A wonderous and happy Birth Day for you Trish! enjoy enjoy enjoy!
may the new upcoming year bring magic to you and yours! Marlene
Happy Birthday Trish. Enjoy the island paradise of Aruba.
IN SHADOW is a name out of the past. I remember reading it in the cab of a truck during wheat harvest while contrasting the heat and the golden grain with the snow on the Cascade Mountains in the distance to the West.
