Every interuption is met with a sigh of annoyance by me, having to lay the book aside. Since I am from Germany and not that used to read English books, I have to say that Chris is such a creative writer who was able to create such lively images in my head, I needn´t have to understand every single word to get the whole picture. I can´t wait to read his next book!Irisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191933741484098764.post-57600614086933569122011-09-29T07:07:42.792-07:002011-09-29T07:07:42.792-07:00Dear Carole,
Thank you so much for your kind word...Dear Carole,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you so much for stopping by. You're absolutely right. I think it's amazing how one can take a terrible experience and learn from it rather than allowing it to beat him. It's quite a hopeful message :).Collettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695154786508276726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191933741484098764.post-50757064965870185832011-09-28T13:53:57.103-07:002011-09-28T13:53:57.103-07:00Collette Great questions, you really drew out some...Collette Great questions, you really drew out some interesting answers and facts from Chris. Chris very good to hear how you kept your humour but more reasuring to hear that you have no regrets about your bad times and miss-fortunes, and have managed to come through it all so well. <br /><br />A good leason to learn for many readers and an enjoyable way to do it........Great Read.Carole Pokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022154416086786059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191933741484098764.post-80923309837269742622011-09-24T08:51:54.518-07:002011-09-24T08:51:54.518-07:00Susan, you are so right.

Chris, I am glad you enjoyed the experience. It has been my pleasure. And Zee, so true! I'm sure we all look forward to hearing more about such an interesting life.<br /><br />Thank you all for visiting and commenting. :)Collettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695154786508276726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191933741484098764.post-58573532397480048292011-09-24T08:26:46.313-07:002011-09-24T08:26:46.313-07:00Great questions, Collette.

This interview is great for people who haven't read the book, but it's also essential for people who have finished it. I knew Chris had 'been around the world', but had no idea he'd traveled to 75 countries! <br /><br />Chris is such an inspiration. Many people dream of publishing their stories, whether they're memoirs or novels, but Chris has gone above that and achieved that dream. I can't wait to read his next book!Susan Blumberg-Kasonhttp://www.susanbkason.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191933741484098764.post-77050274645928820242011-09-22T09:15:54.813-07:002011-09-22T09:15:54.813-07:00It's coming out soon, my friends.
