Barbara bush discussing reflections at the texas book festival in austin. I love writing my memoirs and the urge to write was still there. I saw my good friend Mary Higgins Clark and told her that and she suggested that i write a novel and said it would be very easy and said pick up plot and narrow the ending and work back she told me when her characters talk to her she wont let her Say Something that she knows that she is on the right track and says if they tell her i wouldnt do that are say that it sounded easy so i set forth to write a mystery novel and made up a rather interesting plot centering around two female roommates a Flight Attendant and the secret Service Agent who never stayed in town long enough to me any attractive eligible men. They decided to get in touch with an escort bureau, a dating service all of the men ended up dead i knew the killer and it worked my way back but why had one huge problem my characters never said one word to me. [laughter] i spent hours waiting.
