Hendersonville for Beginners
Last Saturday I visited the charming The Fountainhead Bookstore in Hendersonville, NC and had the pleasure of meeting some lovely readers including, to my surprise, a lady who had a copy of the French translation of Art's Blood (Le Secret des Appalaches.) Her mother in Belgium had bought it and given it to her.
Later I took a few pictures around the town and found myself, as always, thinking of Merisi's Vienna for Beginners.
Domes and spires and people scurrying here and there...
We can't compete with Vienna in terms of architecture or fashion, I'm afraid, but our Carolina blue skies are second to none.
I'm right fond of Hendersonville, myself -- it was in a book store right on Main Street where, having finished the book I was reading unexpectedly early, I chanced a few years back onto a new book by a (to me) unknown author ... a mystery called Signs in the Blood. Ever heard of it? I recommend it highly ... [laughter] --Mario

It is always a treat to see the world through your eyes!
Those blue skies are what convinced me to move to SC. Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina!!!
