Thanks for your support Jennifer. It has been a very long journey, and an even more profitable one (from a learning point of view of course).

It took 15 years and it was such great fun for Kim and I.

Thanks Lex. We both love to uncover facts on found objects and stories. My wife creates sculptures out of found objects as well www.partaforms.com

Thanks Betty. We (my wife that is) were lucky to find that thread as we made our way through a new country and a new life together there. And Kim and I tend to work, travel, eat, sleep (well that comes and goes) together. She was a fine reader, patient listener, and ruthless editor.

What an amazing project. I am impressed by writers who can dive and delve into a story for years, and it's wonderful that you were able to work on it together.
