I just hope a friendly publisher feels the same. <br />And yes, it's much closer to life than I normally write, too. But somehow I already had the characters, the story, the setting, the emotion. It's pretty much all true except we're not bears!malachy doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428551785118345251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-57443468338393456332012-12-05T14:46:54.840+00:002012-12-05T14:46:54.840+00:00Congratulations on the incredible walk, Malachy.

Most of my picture book stories are based in some way on real life, but none yet has come so clearly from an event like that. Really looking forward to seeing more... Welcome back (bad leg 'n all)!
