But occassionally it creeps in to more mainstream stuff - Think Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.<br /><br />As more genres cross these days, who knows what will happen! It shoulc be fun to see.<br /><br />TerriTerrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-1987968506004432452009-05-21T17:40:13.034-04:002009-05-21T17:40:13.034-04:00What an interesting, dare I say MAGICAL, guest pos...What an interesting, dare I say MAGICAL, guest post! Hank seems just in nice in print as she does in person. Loved meeting you at Malice, and your interview of Elaine Viets was stellar. <br /><br />And I agree, the idea that a former (and current!) reporter gets to make all this stuff up is magical, indeed.

Personally, I thnk the whole thing is magic, and the idea that a plot could come out of my own brain is certainly some kind of magic.<br /><br />But having magic in books--unless they are books about magic, of course--is tough. It may seem like "author convenience" when something just happens to happen. You know? although we accept it in real life, in fiction, we sneer.<br /><br />What do you all think?Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-58112127208204607952009-05-21T12:13:38.537-04:002009-05-21T12:13:38.537-04:00Hank, you've made me teary and you've made me smil...Hank, you've made me teary and you've made me smile in under 5 minutes. Nice job. LOL. And yes, there is magic in my life for which I am truly grateful. Enjoy yours.

And it happens so often.<br /><br />In the movie world, they call them "movie moments' because sometimes "coincidences" like that are needed to flesh out a plot, or move it along.<br /><br />But do you think it's coincidence? Sometimes, sure. I somehow just think it's got to be more than that.<br /><br />Has anyone else had that happen?<br /><br />(Glenda--I'll talk to FLo and Eddy about coming to visit. They're partial to corn, so that's perfect.)Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-59666064288322316962009-05-21T10:49:28.398-04:002009-05-21T10:49:28.398-04:00Oh my gosh Hank I know what you mean. Years ago I ...Oh my gosh Hank I know what you mean. Years ago I had my uncle on my mind and I kept thinking how I needed to call him. About 4 days later we got word that he had died.<br />And how many times have I had someone on my mind that I haven't talked to for a while and the phone rings and it's them.<br />But your story about the ducks is wonderful! I would love, LOVE to have them visit me. Maybe if they are ever flying over Kansas you could ask them to stop by? I'll break bread with them. : ) Great blog!!<br />GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730016044051411489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-751645699651108582009-05-21T10:18:14.775-04:002009-05-21T10:18:14.775-04:00You are right there is something magically about t...You are right there is something magically about thinking of a song and Viola you turn the radio on and it's playing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-17963055255323976452009-05-21T10:10:51.558-04:002009-05-21T10:10:51.558-04:00I think they are charming and they obviously are v...I think they are charming and they obviously are very happy ones!Terri Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312153887529889846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-87164445791004252312009-05-21T10:08:43.954-04:002009-05-21T10:08:43.954-04:00SO, how do you like the photo of Flo and Eddy?
