Writers and publishers need to be braver. And your unhappy endings are perfect. It was a really great article. Writers and publishers need to be braver. And your unhappy endings are perfect.

I left this comment over at the 5th estate blog, but wanted to share it with you here too: Caroline! What a lovely piece. I couldn't agree with you more. Disney had made everyone demand, nay, expect a happy ending when, in real life, endings can be anything but happy. What I love about your books is that you don't shy away from the difficult endings like most writers do. You portray people and events with a startling honesty that leaves me slightly shocked and wanting more. I wish more writers were as corageous as you were and showed the darker sides to life as opposed to showing us what they think we want to see. Words have so much power and yours are more powerful than most. :) Hello Caroline!
