I come from a family of writers, did you know? My sister edits a prize-winning community newspaper, our paternal grandmother worked in publishing, and her father was a celebrated journalist for the New York Herald named Don Martin. Filling in the generational gap, my father edited a cache of letters he found between his mother, still a girl. and the grandfather he never met, in the months Martin spent covering WW1 in France (at the end of which he died of the Spanish flu). He shared them through the centenary of the Great War in a blog, and has now put them lovingly together into a beautiful book with the cover designed by his grandson! If you come over, ask me to show it to you: it's a thing of beauty. Or buy your own copy: everyone who's looked at it has found it compelling!
