I couldn’t decide between Alfred Noyes’ “The Highwayman” and Shakespeare’s “Venus and Adonis”.<br />Why yes, I was an overachiever, why do you ask? :-)<br /><br />I chose Alfred Noyes. The bell rang before I finished and no one moved. At that moment I decided I’d be an actress when I grew up. And I’d write a romance inspired by my favorite poem. I’ve achieved both goals, although The Landlord’s Black-Eyed Daughter took longer (I played Nellie in South Pacific at age 19).<br /><br />In writing my book, the hardest part was giving "Landlord" a happy ending and staying faithful to the poem. I wrote half a dozen different endings, but you'll have to read the book to see which one I went with, LOL. (I promise it's happy.)<br /><br />The book is dedicated to Loreena McKennitt.<br /><br />Best,<br />Mary Ellen DennisUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618828678522629972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-37229787276972094212011-08-19T19:21:49.938+03:002011-08-19T19:21:49.938+03:00Hi Nise :)
