I want to thank everyone for making it such a success.

Everybody said what a worthwhile cause and what a great way to raise money.

Our goal was to raise $3,000, and we raised $2,600.

I was very pleased with our team score and success we had out on the course. Earlier in the season Belle had beaten us by one stroke on the same course.

Maybe some of my quest for success comes from Joan of Arc but there's no conscious part of Catholicism in my life.

Settings are obviously important - and as a writer, you have to respect what was real at the time of the story you're writing. But the real key to success lies in finding the right characters to carry that story.
