I...Thanks, Jen, for having Hilary guest blog today. I so enjoyed reading about her mom and grandmother. I am so excited for Hilary! I will be attending her book launch next week in NYC at Partners & Crime Mystery Booksellers (http://www.crimepays.com/) and can't wait to buy my own copy of THE DAMAGE DONE. <br /><br />I agree with Eric about rooting the characters in reality ~ they ring so true. How much fun it must have been to transfer Maude's interests, passions, and features to Lily. Maude lives on in Lily!<br /><br />I was influenced by my Irish grandmother, an armchair detective, as well. I wish I had her a lot longer, though; she died when I was 13. I ache to have an adult conversation with her. If she only knew that I became a cop and what I've accomplished since, concerning a case that baffled her for almost 20 years (although I have a feeling she already does know), she'd be extremely proud. <br /><br />Let's hear it for grandmothers!<br /><br />Congrats, Hilary! Wishing you all the best!Kathleen A.
