I enjoyed writing A Spy At Home, and I based the character with Down syndrome very loosely on my daughter, who also has Down. The Down syndrome-Alzheimer's connection is very frightening to my family, and we are looking forward to the day when researchers break the "code" and conquer this insidious disease for all people, not just those with Down (hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later). Again many thanks, and those of you who buy and read the book are welcome to contact me with any comments or write a review if you wish (would be much appreciated). My direct email address is rinald47@gmail.com.<br />Again, thank you all, and especially thanks to MC.<br />JoeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151823918670971538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-86440470008771566922011-10-10T10:30:12.151-04:002011-10-10T10:30:12.151-04:00This sounds like a powerful book.

I have to say I'm the kind of passionate reader who reads for all sorts of reasons. I read to learn, to escape, to challenge myself, etc... I wish you much success with your writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-8897330357620434862011-10-10T07:30:58.895-04:002011-10-10T07:30:58.895-04:00I read for pleasure and if there wasn't any bo...I read for pleasure and if there wasn't any books to read, I don't know what I would do.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-87715828074949838752011-10-10T05:13:58.808-04:002011-10-10T05:13:58.808-04:00Hi Mason and Joseph .. it's good you've ra...Hi Mason and Joseph .. it's good you've raised two important issues here .. and I didn't know Downs Syndrome affected people were likely to develop Alzheimers. I must make a note of your book to purchase anon, it sounds a very interesting and more importantly informative read.<br /><br />I struggle to read a whole book - a quick novel yes, but something that gives more I need to really sit and concentrate. I've always read - but have realised that a lot has gone over my head .. and I've never 'researched in my mind' or analysed aspects that would have added so much to the book/story. That's all changing now - just it's time to encompass all I want to learn! I'm getting there ..<br /><br />Thanks - excellent book choice Mason .. I hope a few readers pick up this post and book .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-55621310795171765552011-10-10T00:35:56.279-04:002011-10-10T00:35:56.279-04:00Joseph, thanks again for guest blogging.
