Jane Holt…Very Special

I urge readers to see Jane’s comment to my blog, At 67. She has had her dose of adversity — a cancer survivor; divorced; recent rejection for a  MFA which she was more than qualified for; a crazed family background — so what else is new? However, as I read her missive I was moved and realized how much she is dear to me. Lucky me. i must add an addendum. Overlook her spelling or grammar mistakes; she knows how to rifle out a sentence, believe me, one that is right on. I am moved by the passion of the letter, the intent, the openness and her forthrightness. If you ever get to read her introduction to Down to a Sunless Sea, you will see how well she composes her thoughts and how expressive she is. Her comment was written in the strength of white heat, and that always moves me. Reader, keep an eye on Jane Holt, for she is working on a novel that I believe will make you emotionally reel. Kudos to you Jane, for letting us hear you from the gut! Isn’t it true, sweetheart, that when we are in pain — or blue — we often do our best writing?
