So what you're saying is that the next novel is NKOTB fan fiction. Here for it!

Your response to your Mother's comment (35 years of background) agrees well with what I read Ann Lamotte speak of in her book on So, you want to be an Author.... (write things down, keep writing things down...).

I saw your Guest Substack Hostess this a. m. and find your views interesting👍

"The book is completely fictional, but my passion is not. I want to go where my real passion is, that’s what I’m saying." I love this, Emma. I just started work on a novel as a way to explore my current passion from a different angle, one that isn't available to me when I write about it in my usual nonfiction.

I went on my first cruise (Alaska!) with my family a few weeks ago in celebration of our 25th anniversary. As soon as the fog lifts, get thee to the lido deck with binocs. We saw over 50 humpbacks! I was in heaven. Can't wait to hear about your experience!

I'm very excited to hear what this secret passion book is! The other one as well, but the secret passion was a good hook.

At the pool today I saw a fellow mom reading The Vactioneers! I stopped and complimented her excellent taste and then recommended my favorite by you (All adults here) and we chatted about books and then we moved on. ❤️

I am so glad to find your Substack! I loved This Time Tomorrow so much that, as soon as I finished it, I turned back to the front and read it through a second time. I've given away a couple of copies to friends. I look forward to reading more here!

I loved This Time Tomorrow, and I'm so thrilled to hear you also have a bookstore. I am an aspiring author and also just started working on opening my own bookshop, so you are basically who I want to be when I grow up.
