This is a pot roast at home with Nona and a 10 karat Van Cleef & Arpels desert with Marilyn Monroe. So throughly interesting...and touching, exciting and with the pure simplicity of admiration for a man who had impact. It commands the metronome of my attention full speed ahead. I wanted more. No one writes like you, and for that and more, my admiration burns brightly.

Many thanks. Interviewers always ask, "How did you get the idea for this?" Which I hate, because how do I know where I got the idea? They just slither in on their own. Except in this case: because I suddenly realized that I had been close with a historical figure. Idea: The Napoleon I Knew.
