Re:Nicky Singer: Live Forum 30th October 8.00 - 9. - 2007/10/30 22:05 Hiya Jake, Lovely to hear from you. The answer to your question is both - I reiterate my reply to a previous question that we all ( well I do) live with this low grade awareness of the probability of a terrorist attack coming close in our lifetime. KIDS extrapolate on that - I've heard my own doing it. They act as if they are completely blase on a plane and then make some kind of remark that betrays a degree of anxiety, usually disguised as a sick joke. That is life now. That is reality and I probably just tap into that subconsciously.
Re the breakdown in communication it's equally important. I have heard/read enough from people who have been separated from loved ones to know how reunion becomes all consuming. This sounds really schmaltzy, but I think ToW is about family love - blood ties.

Re:Nicky Singer: Live Forum 30th October 8.00 - 9. - 2007/10/30 22:06 Weirdly, when I mooted the story to my editor I told her I wanted to write John's story. By the way, he is based on my mother's brother. He went to labour on a neighbouring farm and was abused and starved.

Re:Nicky Singer: Live Forum 30th October 8.00 - 9. - 2007/10/30 22:16 Thanks Cathy

I'll print out the forum and reorder some of these question and answers so that they read in sequence.

Nicky, do you want to send me the articles and I'll e-mail them to anyone who contacts me for them.

Advance notice: Theresa Breslin will be online to discuss Remembrance on 3rd December
