If I could write a book. it would have to be a really good book - loads of big worms and prose like Milton :) Why would we want to?

There was also a USA version with Roseanne Barr but it can't be as good as the BBC version. I agree on the music too, it's superb. It's on two DVDs and available from Amazon. Actually it's also kinda retro to watch it now with the 80's look. Yes. There was also a USA version with Roseanne Barr but it can’t be as good as the BBC version.

I've already written it. It took a long time to write. It must have taken ten minutes. It is an overnight success. They want to make it into a film. It's a lovely little story. It's about love, desire, passion, witchcraft, devil worship, animal sacrifices, cannibalism, homophobia, arachniphobia, agoraphobia and macramé. It's called "Last Chance Sa Lún". John. We loved the She Devil. Brilliant film. Brilliant music too. We watched it at least twice, but we must get the DVD. Too late Dario. I’ve already written it. It took a long time to write.

I've read maybe about 70% of her articles. She wrote well on caring for old folk and a few other areas which I can't recall right now. Okay, I must have missed that one.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, she should writean autobiography for that kind of stuff.

It's a clever idea publishing little tempters online. I noticed one of the authors you like is Fay Weldon. Didn't she write The She Devil from which the BBC did a TV series in in 1980s? I loved that so much at the time that I bought the DVD of the series on Amazon last Christmas. It's brilliant. Good luck with the writing. I started a novel but it might just end up as a short story - I haven't the time! Dario - I think Martina Devlin is a good writer.
