Dear Editor,

Thank you, blogger Macushi Piyasang, for suggesting that I write a book.

Whenever I recall and relate to my husband an interesting incident which happened 40 or more years ago, either at home or abroad, he more or less says the same thing: “You have a book in you.”  I am never sure whether he is being serious or if it is his way of asking me to shut up!  I usually laugh it off.

I have always felt that writers of books are disciplined, dedicated, serious people, who prefer to work in seclusion, in peace and quiet and to press on for long per-iods.  Concentration is called for.  I have a butterfly mind and long periods of silence unsettle me.  Even when reading in a room alone, the radio or television set is on, volume at low.   However, I am happy to share my thoughts and experiences now and then, hopefully to get some (polite) feedback or initiate a reasoned debate among thinking people.

Yours faithfully,
Geralda Dennison
