Sounds like it will offer wisdom too. So cool that that’s your dad’s book. I think I once blogged a review of my mom’s book too, about rambling travels and the variety of life in our country. (Heading South: Tales from the RV Trail, in case you’re wondering.)
Oh, thank you. My dad passed away soon after Encounters was published. He’d be so pleased to know that people are still talking about it. That’s great that your mom wrote a travel book. I’ll have to take a look – thanks!
My mom has another book, co-written with her dad about his solo sailing around the world as an old man–twice. It’s called Around the World in 80 Years. The reason I mention it is, it seemed her dad was hanging on until the book got published. He died a week shy of 97. Since, as you know, it’s a slow process to get published, she managed quite a few more years for him.
Oh your mom and grandfather’s book sounds really interesting. The last two years of my father’s life were really special to me because he had a burst of creativity and I was lucky to become part of the process. I’m going to take a look at Around the World in 80 Years. I’m trying to be more active on my dad’s website and think this would be an interesting post. Would you like to be a part of that?
Absolutely. Maybe you want to do an interview of my mom for it?
That sounds good – I’m starting to promote my dad’s books, but I have to juggle a bunch of things right now, so let me take a look at your mom’s/grandfather’s books and think of some questions. Thanks!
My mom would be so honored and delighted. The RV book is definitely a fun, easy read. The other one is more heady, fyi.
Oh, great, thanks for this! It may take me a bit to get around to doing this, but I’ll make sure I do. I’ve been super busy outside of the blog this month. Hope you’re doing well!
Staying busy is good. Cheers! π
Terrific review, Barbara. Lovely to see.
Thank you, John π

What a wonderful review, Barbara. I really enjoyed your father’s book. I’m glad you shared this.
Thanks, Jill! My dad would have enjoyed seeing the reviews. I told him about a few of them that were posted before he passed away and I know he liked that π Thanks for the visit!
You have excellent “writer” genes, Barbara. I am sure you are proud of your author father. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Marian – thank you for these comments. My dad wrote two books in the last few years of his life. He was a writing machine and would develop stories while lying in bed at night, then write them down longhand in the morning. Thanks for the visit π
Lovely, and a right tribute!
Thank you, Noelle π
So cool to be able to share your father’s book! I greatly enjoyed this review.
Hi Donna – I was excited to see this review. Thanks for your support π
How wonderful ! So nice to open up a review and get such a gem of one!
Thanks, Chatter Master π
How nice! I didn’t know your father was a writer!
Thanks, Ann. Yes, he had a business career, but wrote in his spare time. He wrote a couple accounting books early in his career, but he wrote a memoir a couple years before he died and he also enjoyed writing fiction.
That review is spot on, Barbara. I thoroughly enjoyed both of your dad’s books.
Oh, thank you so much, Jennifer. I’m trying to get back to promoting them so hearing that is so nice!
