Thank you for answering my questions. There was a whole lot more I would have liked to have asked you about your writing. Maybe next time I see you. I was in Waterstones Book Shop (that used to be Ottakers) in Sutton Parade in 2005, buying a book for my Diploma/CertHE Studies when bells went off and the sales people were very excited and were rushing around. "What's happening?". I asked. "Our author has arrived for signing her novel" I was told. "Who is the author?" I asked. "Christine Coleman" they replied. Don't know that author I thought. Then I spotted your book promotion on the counter and then I saw you. I know that author! That Lady has been very important to my life and my academic achievement, I thought but I left discreetly with a smile on my face because I had already read your excellent novel TDSUS and I absolutely loved it! Yours sincerely With much gratitude Lynne Diane Holland BA X! Dear Chris
