How did you find Noyes Capehart Long? That is quite a painting.
Steve,
Isn’t it gorgeous? I’m so glad you took the time to investigate his work for yourself. How did I find it? I’m not sure, though it wouldn’t be unlike me to randomly surf the web looking for visual inspiration. I do remember reading the text around his perfect painting, though, and feeling awe-struck. I searched for and found him, then asked permission to quote his work in my book. I’m so happy that he agreed.

It was the right image. I enjoyed Last Will, and what stays with me is the connection between the sisters, like a thread that reaches from the past into the future. Everybody may not have a twin, but everybody has something like that thread, and your novel shows what it’s like to find it and take hold of it. That’s a universal thing.

Steve,
I’m not a twin but I know exactly what you mean about a universal sense of those threads that bind us. I’m glad the book resonated with you and that you took the time to tell me so. Thank you!
Therese
