Hi Susan: Thanks so much for you heartfealt response to my story about Vivienne Shannon. I also fell in love with the character as written, and I was sorry to let Vivienne go by finally publishing it. I always go through a grieving process at the end of writing a story, but hope the descriptions impart my love for the people I created. It means a lot to me you took away all the wonderful things I loved about Vivienne, Batcha, and of course, Henry Shannon. Mind you, I loved Tulio, because I could see him as I remembered him — the hair stylist who cut my hair for free back-in-the-day, before he became famous and wealthy. Thanks again. Regards
