I wanted to say that yes Charlie and Flora are typical large Maine Coon cats - Flora is fully grown now but being a lady she is not going to be as big as Charlie who has (gulp!) two more years of growing to do! And yes, Flora does walk over my keyboard when she feels she is not getting enough attention.

So many people say that WH is a fvourite 'romantic' novel but it's not realy a love story and I said that when I was asked to rework it. The others - Emma- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre - have love stories at their heart but WH is full of so many darker emotions and I think it's the force of passion people rememeber - but not real giving love. As I said, I had to make my Kat and Heath learn more about that so they could have a happy ending - I hope it works for you.Kate Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277223651288830541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-643525000303297522011-11-08T01:45:01.714+11:002011-11-08T01:45:01.714+11:00Lovely to see you here again Kaelee - I'm glad...Lovely to see you here again Kaelee - I'm glad I haven't bored you yet!
