Torera, I have no doubt, will be a wonderful read, Especially with Tisha Garcia's invaluable input. :) Seems you guys work great together. Congrats to you both!! <br /><br />As far as strong women, I've known a few in my life, and they don't get the credit they deserve. My mother is one, as was my Lisa Alexander Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408188538622550449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-68679662762481365142011-05-08T18:24:23.558-04:002011-05-08T18:24:23.558-04:00Hi, and a thanks for stopping by today to read our...Hi, and a thanks for stopping by today to read our blog. As a first time novelist in this genre its really amazing to meet so many other talented writers. And of course I can’t say enough about how great it was to write Torera with Paul. I hope that all the lovely mothers out there have a wonderful Mother’s Day with the ones that they love the most.<br />I have more information and excerpts on myAn Unquiet Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378878789271910437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-61181225959590193832011-05-08T15:35:10.633-04:002011-05-08T15:35:10.633-04:00Delaney, thank you.

Isn't it absurd that strength should be thought of as non-feminine, as something a passionate, sensual woman shouldn't display to her family, friends and lovers? There is nothing more beautiful, mind and body, than a woman powerful in her thoughts, in her heart, in her dreams. I hope our Lucretia embodies that truth in the book.R.

She sounds like a wonderful, wise woman.<br /><br />And I must say, writing together with a woman as brilliant and strong-willed as Tisha was (and still is, as we continue to create new stories as a team)a joy.

My own grandmother was much like Tess's. Tiny little woman who never stopped and never complained. Those years were HARD. Generations later we are still taking a page from their books.

My roots are Irish too, coming to the US on both sides of the family in the 1800's...but I remember the admiration and awe I felt talking to my grandmother (who was born in 1901) about her memories of being in a teenager in the 1917 Influenza Epidemic, and the Depression...what she carried out of those days was a beliefR.

She was probably slightly shorter than Tess's grandma and her job was taking juvenile offenders from wherever they were housed to court and back again, on public transportation. She was also a moonshiner in Brooklyn during prohibition, and my grandmother as a young girl was her Kate Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266895320753860578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-54200380672535829222011-05-08T10:35:31.755-04:002011-05-08T10:35:31.755-04:00What a remarkable woman your grandmother was, Tess...What a remarkable woman your grandmother was, Tess (and clearly you have inherited her spirit). And she illustrates the powerful woman so clearly. Was her femininity any the less for her dedication and her tireless willingness to work to take care of her loved ones? I think not. As you know, I have long thought that men could learn a huge lesson from that view of life: that just as beauty and R.

Happy Mother's Day! Certainly an appropriate day for us to be here talking about the concept of the powerful woman.
