Buongiorno everyone!

I’m leaving Italy today, so it would be difficult to write a new post, but I’ve got something even better for you! It’s my new interview on Goodreads. I want to thank Sheri, one of the moderators of the Shut Up and Read group for her wonderful questions, which really got me thinking.

As usual, I revealed way more than I wanted or intended to, especially about why I wrote Is This All There Is? and my fears about publishing it. I was also probably too honest about my struggle with finding balance in life. Here’s the link: http://shutupandreadgroup.blogspot.it/2013/06/is-this-all-there-is-by-patricia-mann.html?

And here’s Sheri’s very kind review of Is This All There Is?: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/504657101

And finally, in case you missed my post last week about the things I learned in my first two days in Italy, please take a moment to check it out. It’s really short and has a pretty cool picture of the Sistine Chapel taken by my son: http://www.patriciamann.me/what-im-learning-in-italy/

Arrivederci amici! This has been the adventure of a lifetime and though I love Italy and it has changed me forever, I do look forward to returning to the comforts of home in the good old USA!

All my best,

Patricia
