OMG! This is one of those incredible stories that lies hidden within the detritus of history just waiting to jump out and surprise you. I have another like it that I've been sitting on for years and waiting to expose in a historical novel. Only one more of my current series to write and then I'm gonna be on it like white on rice

I just sent this one in again here, I realize you'd seen it when I'd sent it in, in the past...was that the one you'd been eager to write about? I only ask, as, when I'd sent it in before, you'd apparently thought it'd make a really good written piece of some kind, whether fiction or nonfiction...as I'd explained in the past, I'd always wondered why she'd never had a film made about her, you know? To me, at any rate, it always rather struck me as one of those historical rarities that would clearly seem to warrant a major film, certainly...I'd just wondered, as you'd said you'd had another topic you've been waiting on to write up, I'd just wondered if it'd been about her, if not, it's another, obviously, I'm not asking you to relate what it would be, clearly I can understand why you'd want to keep that hidden, if only to maintain the novelty, however, as I'd said, I'd just wondered, when I'd seen what you'd said, that was all, honest....
